Republican senators and representatives know their tax proposal is horrible for working Americans by robbing from the poor and giving to the rich, but they need to pay off their millionaire supporters. They also know that President Trump’s daily lies are getting more alarming and outrageous, but they are willing to support his need for a “win” so they can pay off their millionaire supporters.
Every day, the tax proposal gets worse. Lately, Republicans said if revenues fall short, then taxes would automatically increase. Now that has switched. Cuts in non-military spending would be put in place. Once again, Medicare, Medicaid, and all programs that are part of the safety net would be cut. Social Security would also be attacked.
Now Trump is dredging up the absurd claim that President Obama was born in Kenya. He said he lost the popular vote because there was vast voter fraud, and that under the new tax bill he would lose big time. (The repeal of the estate tax alone would give his heirs additional tens of millions.)
Haven’t we all heard enough? Tell Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler to oppose the tax scam and stop supporting Trump.
