| On Tax Day, Missourians are reeling from the consequences of the unpopular Big, Ugly Bill after Ann Wagner 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 Wagner’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 themselves from the least popular law in modern American history, Wagner 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:
“Ann Wagner is lying to Missourians if she says this is a win for anyone other than her billionaire backers. While Wagner and Republicans’ billionaire donors celebrate this Tax Day, Missouri families struggling with the cost of living crisis won’t forget this betrayal when they head to the ballot box.” |
