| On Tax Day, everyday Americans are reeling from the consequences of the unpopular Big, Ugly Bill after House Republicans 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 House Republicans’ 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, 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 Aidan Johnson:
“House Republicans are lying to the American people if they say this is a win for anyone other than their billionaire backers. While Mike Johnson and his billionaire donors celebrate Tax Day in DC, families across the country continue to struggle with the cost of living crisis and won’t forget this betrayal when they head to the ballot box.” |
