| On Tax Day, Coloradans are reeling from the consequences of the unpopular Big, Ugly Bill after Gabe Evans prioritized permanent tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy over lowering costs for hardworking families.
REMINDER: Most Americans say the taxes they paid this year are “too high.” The Big Ugly reality is that Evans’ signature legislative achievement provides more in tax breaks to the top 1% than to the bottom 80% COMBINED, and is expected to raise taxes on the poorest 40% of Americans.
Rather than distance themselves from the least popular law in modern American history, Evans and House Republicans are embracing it—despite the fact that their constituents are stuck dealing with rising gas prices, out-of-control utility costs, and massive cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs.
DCCC Spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
“Gabe Evans is lying to Coloradans if he says this is a win for anyone other than his billionaire backers. While Evans and Republicans’ billionaire donors celebrate this Tax Day, Colorado families struggling with the cost of living crisis won’t forget this betrayal when they head to the ballot box.” |
