“let's get it straight. This is one big bill, but it is a bill that steals Medicaid. It steals SNAP. It steals all the assistance for working people in order to give tax breaks to the billionaires in this country. Those making less than $30,000 a year will pay $20 billion more in taxes over the 10-year period. If you make $50,000 a year, you have a 50/50 chance of seeing any kind of change in your taxes while the billionaire establishment gets a cut of $270,000. This is the biggest transfer of wealth in our Nation's history. It is literally stealing from the poor to give to the rich. They want to talk about how they went around the country to listen. Well, they didn't listen very hard because what the Republicans are doing is hurting average working people. They are not helping when it comes to housing. They are not helping when it comes to childcare. They are not helping. When they do talk about housing, it is 20,000 units a year for 10 years. That is a drop in the bucket. We need our Republican colleagues to actually do something besides the cheap talk and theatrics of going around the town but only listening to the billionaires at the end of the day.”
