John,

All eyes are on the Build Back Better package negotiations right now. With so much of the focus on the political ramifications, I wanted to speak directly to you, John, about the actual impacts of the measure.

These are policies that will have a massive impact on daily lives. One example is permanent child tax credits. Families have been receiving tax credits in the form of checks each month, relieving financial burdens that have been strained during the pandemic.

These payments don’t have to go away, we can make them permanent. But they are on the chopping block, and some members are trying to make it much harder to qualify.

Most of the criticism of Build Back Better is over the price tag, but it’s cheaper than the massive tax cuts for the rich passed by Republicans in 2017. Our proposal just asks the wealthiest to pay back some of the tax breaks they got in 2017, and doesn’t raise taxes on the middle-class.

We can pay for this plan and pass measures like permanent child tax credits, universal Pre-K, dental, vision, and hearing benefits for Medicare, and much more.

That’s why I’m holding the line with progressive Democrats. If you believe that this is a cause worth fighting for, pitch in to my campaign so I can keep working to make America a country that works for everyone.

Thank you,

Hank Johnson
