Dear John, I write to you with urgent concern regarding the latest Republican tax legislation being pushed through Congress. After 17 straight hours of blocking every Democratic effort to make the tax code fairer, support working families, and protect health care and jobs, House Republicans jammed through their newest billionaire tax giveaway. Let me be clear: this bill delivers massive windfalls to the ultra-wealthy and big corporations, while working families are asked to sacrifice more and more. It rips health care away from millions of Americans, abandons workers devastated by Trump’s reckless tariffs, and undermines the very investments that have helped bring back hundreds of thousands of good-paying manufacturing jobs to America. Here’s what the numbers tell us:The top 0.1% would receive an average annual tax break of $278,000, or $762 per day, while working individuals earning under $50,000 would receive just $273 per year—less than $1 a day (Tax Policy Center, [Joint Committee on Taxation]).To fund these handouts, Republicans propose $715 billion in cuts to Medicaid and over $1.1 trillion in cuts to safety net programs like SNAP, housing assistance, and community health care (Center on Budget and Policy Priorities).The Congressional Budget Office estimates that nearly 14 million Americans could lose health coverage if this bill becomes law.Despite promises on the campaign trail, there is no permanent tax relief for workers, seniors, or tips—those provisions expire in four years, while billionaire tax cuts are made permanent.The fiscal impact is just as alarming. This bill would add $5 trillion to the deficit over the next decade and $45 trillion over the next 30 years, threatening long-term funding for Social Security and Medicare (CBO 2025 Long-Term Outlook, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget). Democrats fought to deliver permanent tax relief for working families and to restore basic fairness to our tax code. Republicans, on the other hand, have shown exactly whose side they’re on—and it’s not the American people’s.This bill rewards the richest few, punishes working families, and puts the future of our economy and health care system at risk. There’s more to come as we continue to break down the latest Republican billionaire scam—and as we await further action in the House. The question remains: do they even have the votes for the Rules Committee, let alone final passage on the Floor?I remain committed to fighting for equity, transparency, and justice.
