Greg Casar

I believe that it is imperative that we bring home every wrongfully detained American citizens abroad.

I have to say that I have never in my lifetime seen a more activist Court and a Court that is more influenced by dark money than what we are seeing in this country right now, and I believe that it is one of the most significant threats to…

Can you imagine dark money organizations suing to take indigenous children out of their communities? I mean, it does not get much darker than that, does it? Really.

I am Greg Casar, and I represent the heart of Texas. Thirteen years ago, I stood alongside construction workers as we sounded the alarm at Austin City Hall that workers were dying after being forced to work for hours on end in the sun…

I would like to see whether there might be interest from anybody on the other side of the aisle on us having that kind of a hearing.

Low-and middle-income Americans have high tax compliance rates. They pay their taxes. It is the very wealthiest and the biggest corporations who refuse to pay their fair share.

A 2021 Treasury Department paper found that the wealthiest 1 percent may owe more than $160 billion in uncollected taxes.

If Republicans were truly interested in holding the powerful accountable, we would be holding hearings on making sure the IRS has the resources to investigate every billionaire and every big corporation who cheats on their taxes.

Republicans are not interested in that kind of accountability. Instead, they are interested in trying their hardest to embarrass the President.

It is clear from this hearing that Democrats are pro-accountability, equal treatment under the law, and for paying your taxes.

But instead, what we see from Governor Abbott is punishing people and, frankly, killing people because he is putting drowning devices in the Rio Grande.

I still cannot understand from the Republican Majority why they think that DACA recipients, who are paying billions of dollars in taxes to pay for healthcare programs, should not have health insurance.

The Biden Administration has chosen to stop discriminating against DACA recipients so they can buy health insurance on the exchanges like everybody else.

I am Greg Casar, and I represent the heart of Texas. Throughout my time in office, I have heard from and spoken with military families about what their greatest needs are. The answer that has most consistently come up isn't about the…

This does not discriminate between union and non-union workers.

I just think that it is important in this bill to make it clear that, in fact, all workers in this country can choose whether to be a member of a union or not.

But we cannot break the government and then complain about how the government is broken.

I was here alongside all of you during the State of the Union when my Republican colleagues stood up and started jeering, booing, yelling, and complaining saying that indeed, they weren't interested in cutting Social Security or Medicare…

Here we are again, another hearing that seems to primarily be about how great Donald Trump was as he campaigns for President.

If my Republican colleagues want to talk about wasteful government welfare that lets people live large, then we should be talking about tax breaks for yachts.

SNAP provides people $2 a meal, overwhelmingly to kids, working people, and seniors.

To be clear, SNAP provides people $2 a meal, overwhelmingly to kids, working people, and seniors.

I think that it is incumbent on us as Congress to try to support D.C.

What message does it send to D.C. military families and veterans when the country they have risked their lives for refuses to afford them basic democratic rights?

D.C. residents pay taxes to fund wars but have no say in whether or not our country goes to war.
