Madam Speaker, I rise to set the record straight about the Trump-Republican tax scam recently signed into law. Middle-income and working people in Georgia would see a minimal gain, and eventually they will see their taxes go up, while the richest 1 percent of Georgians will get an annual tax cut of $83,000. In fact, Georgia millionaires could receive a cut of more than $130,000 a year. In fact, the Trump-Republican tax cut bestows 83 percent of the $5.5 trillion tax cut to the wealthiest 1 percent who don't even need it, while blowing a $1.5 trillion hole in the Nation's debt. That is obscene, and that is why I am holding a tax teach this Saturday in my district to communicate with my constituents about what this tax scam means to them, what it means for their families, and what it means for jobs and economic growth. ____________________
