| On Tax Day, Iowans are reeling from the consequences of the unpopular Big, Ugly Bill after Mariannette Miller-Meeks 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 Miller-Meeks’ 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, Miller-Meeks 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 Katie Smith:
“Mariannette Miller-Meeks is lying to Iowans if she says this is a win for anyone other than her billionaire backers. While Miller-Meeks’ billionaire donors celebrate Tax Day in DC, Iowa families continue to struggle with the cost of living crisis and won’t forget this betrayal when they head to the ballot box.” |
