Political Quotes

“Today, House Republicans will move one step closer to giving a budget-busting $2 trillion tax cut to the superwealthy on the backs of hardworking Americans, one step closer to increasing taxes on vulnerable Americans, one step closer to gutting Medicaid by $1 trillion and slashing Medicare by $500 billion, one step closer to decimating programs that help veterans, seniors, students, and families. Many families in my home district in Ohio are struggling--struggling because they haven't had a pay increase in over a decade. That is why, instead of pushing Donald Trump's ``Billionaire's First Tax Cut Plan,'' we need to ensure that all Americans have a chance to achieve an American Dream by expanding the earned income tax credit, child care tax credit, and low housing income tax credit, not capping retirement contributions, and eliminating tax loopholes that allow U.S. companies to profit from shipping jobs overseas. Mr. Speaker, it is time that we provide a level playing field for all families to truly help them have a better life. ____________________”
