Donald Trump ran a campaign on lowering costs for everyday working people. And yet he’s forcing through a bill that will jack up expenses on groceries and health care — all to fund massive giveaways to his billionaire backers.
If passed, this bill would result in the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in our history. That’s on top of an economy that has already been working better and better for billionaires and the ultra-rich, and worse and worse for everyone else.
The timing of Bezos’ wedding and this spending plan being debated on the same weekend is just cruel irony.
Republicans would let more kids go hungry while Bezos rents out a fragile, historic city as his own private playground.
Republicans would cut health care for more than 16 million people as Bezos celebrates his wedding on his $500 million superyacht.
Republicans would make our energy costs go up and worsen the climate crisis by cutting clean energy investments — all while the richest people in the world fly their private jets into this event.
In the short-term, I’m doing everything I can to stop this bill from passing. But there’s still more we’ve got to do, and it’s called a wealth tax.
We need people in our government who fight for working people. That’s what I’m here to do every single day. If you’re able to, please chip in $28 or anything you can to support our campaign fighting to tax billionaires like Bezos more so that our economy and our country work for everyone.
Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
