This bill represents — in the text of this bill — the largest and greatest loss of health care in American history.
On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I wanna tell you a little bit about the scam of that text, a little bit of the fine print there.
It explodes our national debt, it militarizes our entire economy, and it strips away healthcare and basic dignity of the American people.
President Trump, you're either being lied to or you are lying, because this bill represents... the largest and greatest loss of healthcare in American history.
So if you’re at home and you’re living off tips, you do the math. Is that worth it to you? Losing all your health care? Not able to feed your babies? Not being able to put a diaper on their bottom, in exchange for what?
It explodes our national debt. It militarizes our entire economy. And it strips away health care and the basic dignity of the American people for what? To give Elon Musk a tax break?
