Tax Day Reality Check: House Republicans Prioritized Tax Cuts For Billionaires and Southern California Families Are Left Paying The Price

REMINDER: Most Americans say the taxes they paid this year are “too high.” The Big Ugly reality is that 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.

Jim Desmond happily embraced Trump and House Republicans’ endorsement just yesterday and has repeatedly said he agrees with Trump – bear-hugging the least popular law in modern American history despite the fact that his constituents are stuck dealing with rising gas prices, out-of-control utility costs, and massive cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs.

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser: 
“Jim Desmond is lying to Californians if he says this is a win for anyone other than billionaire backers. While Desmond’s MAGA cronies celebrate Tax Day in DC, Southern California families continue to struggle with the cost of living crisis and won’t forget this betrayal in November.”
