| On Tax Day, New Yorkers are reeling from the consequences of the unpopular Big, Ugly Bill after Mike Lawler 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 Lawler’s 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 himself from the least popular law in modern American history, Lawler is embracing it—even launching a series of ads around the tax scam 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 Riya Vashi:
“Mike Lawler is lying to New Yorkers if he says this is a win for anyone other than his billionaire backers. While Lawler’s billionaire donors celebrate Tax Day in DC, New York families struggling with the cost of living crisis won’t forget this betrayal when they head to the ballot box.” |
