When some people hear the words “tax
policy,” their minds immediately jump to percentages and dollar amounts
and spreadsheets.
But fundamentally, tax policy is about something broader.
It’s about who our government works for.
Does our government only work for billionaires and billionaire
corporations, or does it work for everybody?
Does our tax system reward the rich, or does it look out for someone who’s
putting together two or three jobs just to keep their family above water?
Do our laws prioritize helping billionaires boost their bank balances, or
do we make sure we can fund nursing homes for seniors, and aides for
public school students with disabilities?
Tax policy is also about who pitches in to keep our country running. I’m
sick of billionaires skipping out on the bill while hard-working Americans
— teachers, nurses, firefighters — pay what they owe, year in and year
out.
And tax policy binds together many, many of the issues we care about.
Look, if you care about our climate, if you care about making health care
affordable, if you care about the future of our children, if you care
about housing, if you care about expanding opportunity, then you have to
care about our tax code.
I’m bringing this up right now because Washington has major decisions to
make about tax laws.
Donald Trump’s tax breaks for the rich that he passed in 2017 — mostly
sucked up by millionaires, billionaires, and giant corporations — are set
to expire. And Congressional Republicans are working to extend them —
following Trump’s lead, who promised to cut taxes for his “rich as hell”
donors.
Of course, tax cuts aren’t free, no matter how hard Republicans try to
fudge the numbers. Math is math.
So while the GOP gets ready to give handouts to the wealthy, Elon Musk
works from the inside to free up room in the budget with his illegal
funding cuts.
He’s targeting everyone from the public servants who make sure your dad
gets his Social Security check on time to the scientists who could come up
with the next big lifesaving breakthrough.
And Congressional Republicans are charging forward with proposed budget
cuts that would hurt every community in America.
Take Medicaid, which would be gutted under the Republicans’ plans. It
covers more than 79 million people, including almost 2 million people in
Massachusetts. About half of all births are covered by Medicaid. Over a
third of all children have health care thanks to Medicaid. More than half
of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid. Many people are
counting on Medicaid to pay for medicine that treats their cancer, the hip
replacement they need to walk, the prescription for their child’s inhaler,
or the nursing home that takes care of their uncle with dementia.
If the program is cut, the harm will echo through nearly every home in
America.
But Congressional Republicans seem to think that’s a-okay if it means a
billionaire can get a tax break.
Billionaires win. Families lose.
That’s their plan. You can fit it on a bumper sticker.
Help seeing a doctor, help covering grocery bills, help getting an
education if you come from a family that can’t write a big tuition check —
it’s all under attack from Congressional Republicans.
They want to increase costs for health care, food, and education for
working people so they can decrease taxes for millionaires, billionaires,
and giant corporations.
They want to reach into working people’s pockets to pay for billionaires’
handouts.
Taxes reflect our values. Taxes show what — and who — we value enough to
collectively invest in. And Republicans are showing, pure and simple, that
they value a handful of the wealthy and well-connected. Not the working
people they claim to represent.
And they don’t want you to notice what they’re doing.
Newsflash: We are paying attention.
In the U.S. Senate, I’ll keep calling out GOP plans to slash taxes for the
rich. I’ll keep putting forward plans to protect working families from
devastating cuts. And I’ll keep fighting to make our government work not
just for the wealthy and well-connected but everybody.
And I won’t be alone.
People like you are raising your voices around the country — at town
halls, on the phone lines, at local organizing events, at protests — and
exposing the Republican agenda. If we can grow and sustain our momentum,
we can create enough pressure in Congress and from the public to stop the
Republican Party from handing billions more dollars to billionaires with a
bunch of billions already.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
