On the recordNovember 30, 2017
Mr. Speaker, millions of Americans will lie awake in bed this evening worried about their ability to take care of their families because they simply don't make enough money and are struggling with the daily needs of life. What is the Republican Party working to do to make it even worse? Passing a tax cut for the richest people in this country, the most powerful corporations, that will result in raising taxes on 82 million families, providing $1.5 trillion debt for the next generation, making deep cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, Pell grants, and infrastructure--all things that are necessary to grow and strengthen the middle class of this country--which will be a huge boon to the richest people in America. The Senate version will also remove 13 million people from having access to affordable healthcare. The Republicans in the Senate are doing this right now. The American people need to be certain that their voices are being heard to stop this proposal. It is a scam that will impose tremendous costs on working people in this country. It will provide tremendous benefits to the very powerful and very wealthy. It incentivizes American companies to ship American jobs overseas by making those incentives more generous. The American people deserve a better deal. They deserve better wages, better jobs, and a better future. They deserve a much better deal than this raw deal these Republicans are giving in this tax scam. ____________________
