House Republicans’ Budget Gives Massive Handouts to Billionaires

Republican Study Committee proposes GOP Tax Scam 2.0 that rigs economy for wealthy while doing nothing to lower costs for working families

The Republican Study Committee, which boasts the membership of 80% of the entire House Republican Conference, released a budget last week that cuts taxes for the ultra wealthy and well-connected while leaving working families and the middle class to foot the bill.

The Republican Study Committee’s latest Tax Scam would overwhelmingly benefit the top 5% of income earners by permanently cutting taxes for the rich and billion-dollar corporations and making it easier for them to get away with cheating on their taxes. If House Republicans made their Tax Scam permanent, it would balloon the national debt by up to $2.7 trillion over the next decade.

Thirteen vulnerable House Republicans are members of the Republican Study Committee that have endorsed the GOP’s new tax scam:

• Rep. David Schweikert (AZ-01)

• Rep. Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06)

• Rep. Kevin Kiley (CA-03)

• Rep. Mike Garcia (CA-27)

• Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13)

• Rep. Zach Nunn (IA-03)

• Rep. John James (MI-10)

• Rep. Ryan Zinke (MT-01)

• Rep. Don Bacon (NE-02)

• Rep. Nick LaLota (NY-01)

• Rep. Brandon Williams (NY-22)

• Rep. Monica De La Cruz (TX-15)

• Rep. Bryan Steil (WI-01)

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“Instead of providing tax relief for the middle class, House Republicans’ budget has made clear that their priority is helping the wealthy and well-connected – not everyday Americans. Voters can see that MAGA Republicans’ plan for the economy does nothing to help them, but will actually raise costs on them. Meanwhile House Democrats are focused on investing in working families and fighting for a fairer system for all.”
