On the recordNovember 30, 2017
The President said yesterday that these massive tax cuts for corporate America will be rocket fuel for the economy--rocket fuel for corporate America and for the Trump empire for certain, and a rocket-fueled hit to the heart of middle America for sure. If you are in college and you are trying to become better and self- sufficient to thrive in the global economy, you are getting a big tax hike. If you have a medical illness that you were born into and your costs exceed your insurance coverage, you will be getting a big tax hike. If you are 1 of 13 million Americans to lose your healthcare coverage and the millions more who will see their premiums explode because congressional Republicans needed another $300 billion for their deficit-exploding corporate tax cuts, you will be taking a big hit on top of a big tax hike. Mr. Speaker, this tax cut bill is a massive takeaway from middle America and a massive giveaway to corporate America. The deficit will rise by $1.5 trillion, and both the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation confirmed that, in less than 10 years, Americans making between $40,000 and $50,000 will pay $5.3 billion more in taxes. ____________________

Congress frequently falls short of the will of we the people. We know this as Representatives. We struggle to do our best. Rarely do we have an opportunity to set things right. I have worked for 8 years on the Social Security Fairness Act…
