“G.O.P. Tax Bill May Hurt the Lowest Earners and Help the Richest” [New York Times]

The Republican “mandate,” as outlined in their big, ugly bill:

  • Raise taxes on hardworking people making less than $51,000 per year

  • Give a massive – $389,000 – handout to billionaires in the top 0.1%

  • Force 13.7 million Americans off their health insurance

  • Take 3 million Americans off food assistance programs

  • Decrease $30 billion in revenue for America’s farmers

“Under each of those changes, millions of Americans stand to lose access to federal safety net benefits, according to the government’s own estimates in recent months,” according to the New York Times. “Those losses threaten to overshadow any gains among some of those families from the president’s campaign to slash taxes, some data show.”

And every single fake moderate will walk the plank.

DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“House Republicans – including the so-called moderates – are planning to rob hardworking middle-class taxpayers and enact the largest cut to Medicaid and food assistance in history to fund trillions in tax giveaways to their billionaire backers. They will regret their vote.”
