John,
Donald Trump and his Republicans cronies in Congress are working hard to make his 2017 tax cuts permanent — a move that would lock in lower taxes for billionaires and leave the rest of us footing the bill.
They’ve been pushing this scheme for years, but with Trump in the White House and Republicans in control of both houses of Congress, now they’re closer than ever to getting it through. And as usual, it’s working families and public services that would pay the price.
But here’s what they didn’t expect: Support for higher taxes on the wealthy is growing — even among Republican voters. According to recent polling, 70% of GOP voters want to raise taxes on the rich, along with 90% of Democrats.
Those numbers are huge. They show we’ve got real power, and if we speak out right now, we can make it politically impossible for Congress to rubber-stamp another billionaire tax break.
Sign on now to demand Congress reject this tax scam and finally make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share.
For decades, conservative politicians have destroyed public programs in order to line the pockets of America’s wealthiest. We’ve seen the consequences: crumbling infrastructure, underfunded schools, and skyrocketing inequality — all while billionaires watch their wealth soar.
We’re standing up, because we know we don’t have to accept this broken system.
If you’re with us, sign on now and help stop Trump’s tax scam from becoming permanent.
Thanks for being part of this fight,
—Democratic Values
