Subject: SWING SEAT REPUBLICANS PUNCH THEIR PINK SLIP WITH TAX SCAM
As the economy is tanking, consumer confidence is at historic lows, and millions are struggling to make ends meet, House Republicans decided to ignore it all… and advance an astonishingly detrimental bill – the GOP Tax Scam – that raises costs on working families while benefiting the wealthiest few. It’s a vote that every single vulnerable House Republican will come to regret next year.
In poll after poll, public support for Trump and the Republican agenda is cratering. The GOP Tax Scam doubles down on all the anxieties the public has about D.C. politicians prioritizing their wealthy friends over everyday people – and takes a chainsaw to programs that are popular among a broad swath of Americans, from Trump voters to independents to progressives. Recent polling on the bill itself shows that the GOP Tax Scam is underwater with the American public by double-digits.
According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the Tax Scam would force nearly $500 billion in cuts to Medicare and result in nearly 14 million Americans at risk of losing their health insurance, 18 million children without school lunches, and 3 million Americans without access to affordable food.
VULNERABLE HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE LYING: House Republicans know their Tax Scam would enact the largest cut to Medicaid and food assistance in American history – which is why they are on the run. In a desperate, hypocritical attempt to inoculate themselves from their eventual vote in favor of this terrible bill, vulnerable Republicans whined, wrote letters, and filed meaningless resolutions to try and convince their voters they would not cut Medicaid and other vital programs. It was all a lie. Now that they’ve been caught, the DCCC will use their words against them over and over again like the albatross it is. |
