John,
Republicans in Congress are charging ahead with a reckless tax plan that hands trillions to the wealthiest Americans while gutting critical services for working families. But they’re not just ignoring economic fairness, they’re defying the will of their own voters.
A recent national survey revealed that 67% of voters believe the wealthy pay too little in federal taxes. Even 49% of Trump voters agree that the rich aren’t paying their fair share, and 56% say the same about large corporations.[1]
Yet the GOP’s latest tax plan doesn’t just extend Trump’s tax cuts for the rich, it goes even further, cutting Medicaid and food assistance to pay for giveaways to billionaires and corporate giants.
If Congress passes these tax breaks for the rich and powerful, it won’t be in service of their constituents—it will be in service of the same ultra-wealthy donors and corporate lobbyists who have spent decades rigging the tax code in their favor.
It’s a direct attack on working families, and we can’t let it happen. Tell Congress: Stand with your constituents, not billionaires and corporations.
House Republicans are working overtime for Donald Trump’s $4.5 trillion tax scam to hand even more tax breaks mostly to wealthy donors. It’s the same old playbook: give the rich a free pass, then claim we can’t afford the programs that everyday Americans rely on.[2]
Even 71% of Trump voters agree that slashing Medicaid is unacceptable and 60% hold the same stance on cutting SNAP benefits.
The numbers are staggering: if Republicans succeed, the families of the wealthiest GOP members of the tax writing committee could personally benefit from up to $24 million in tax breaks. Middle-class families will be left to foot the bill through higher healthcare costs and weaker public services.[3]
We need to send a clear message: Voters are watching and we will not stand for another billionaire tax giveaway at our expense.
Tell Congress: Reject tax cuts for billionaires and corporations. Protect Medicaid, Social Security, and programs that serve working families.
Thank you for taking action,
