John,
President Biden proposed a $2.3 trillion jobs and infrastructure plan that was paid for by requiring corporations to start paying their fair share. Now, Senate Republicans (with a bunch of moderate Democrats joining them) have proposed a plan that is a recycled version of Donald Trump’s discredited 2017 “infrastructure plan.”
It’s a bad deal for the American people and would violate President Biden’s red line to not raise taxes on people making less than $400,000 a year.
Donate today to demand Senate Democrats reject the GOP infrastructure plan that would make working families pay more and let big corporations off the hook.
The Republican deal is reportedly paid for by using unspent COVID-19 relief funds; instituting an electric vehicle mileage tax; indexing the gas tax for inflation, meaning higher consumer costs at the pump; and privatizing public assets, thereby making working families pay more.[1]
And, while corporations will benefit enormously from improvements to roads, bridges, ports, waterways, airports and more, they won’t pay a dime more in taxes.
Americans for Tax Fairness is demanding the U.S. Senate reject a bad deal for the American people and pass a jobs and infrastructure plan that’s paid for by making corporations start paying their fair share.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:
We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reform our tax code and make critical investments in our future. It’s up to us to make sure Democrats don’t cut a bad deal with Republicans, and stick you and me with the tab.
Thank you,
