The Democratic Party
-----------------------
Samuel, there's no getting around just how bad this GOP tax
scam is for most Americans. Here are the top four take-aways
of where things stand:

#1 Republican senators didn't even read the bill: Instead,
they passed it under the cloak of darkness this past
Saturday morning, after its pieces were being redrafted and
edited hours before the vote. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker
even hosted a late-night Facebook Live broadcast at his
office in which he attempted to read the 500-page text, but
couldn't even get a quarter of the way through it before he
was forced to return to the Senate floor.

#2 The GOP tax plan raises the deficit: Hardworking
Americans woke up Saturday morning to a tax plan which
raises our deficit by $1.4 trillion -- to the benefit of
big corporations and the 1%, and all at the expense of
programs like CHIP that help children access health care,
the G.I. Bill that helps veterans and their families get a
college education, and other important programs that people
count on for subsidies to afford health care.

#3 The GOP tax plan raises taxes on the middle class: Even
while adding to the deficit, this tax plan raises taxes on
most middle-class families. Within a decade, nearly half of
Americans would see an increase in their taxes.

#4 Here's what's next: Right now, Republicans in the House
and Senate are working behind closed doors to reconcile the
differences between their two plans. They have the power
to demand, create, and pass legitimate tax reform that
works for all Americans, not just those at the top. But
with Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell running the show, and
Trump impatient to sign something, we're not holding our
breath for them to do the right thing.

Democratic senators and House members are doing everything
they can to fight for better options.

And we need to do our part too. Call Congress now and tell
them that we demand a tax plan that works for EVERY
American, not millionaires, billionaires, and corporations:
