It’s been a busy week for Heritage Action––we’ve made some major moves trying to stop Biden’s radical and dangerous economic agenda from transforming America forever.

The House and Senate were in session this week on Capitol Hill, with important legislation going through both chambers.

Heritage Action Slams Dems for Millionaire Tax Break

On Thursday night, the House voted 220 - 213 to pass Biden’s reckless Build Back Broke bill. There are so many things wrong with this legislation like Green New Deal mandates, higher taxes on the middle class, energy taxes that will raise your monthly bills, and much more.

One of the provisions in the bill that’s very alarming is the Dems’ plan to give blue state millionaires a massive tax break while the little guy has to pay for skyrocketing inflation.

So, we decided to fight back and will continue to highlight the millionaire tax break House Dems agreed to by voting for this bill.

Case in point––on Tuesday, we announced a $1.25 million TV and digital ad buy targeting five ‘moderate’ House Democrats over their millionaire tax break included in this reckless bill.

Democrats agreed to give millionaires in high tax states a tax break by raising the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap.

What’s the SALT deduction cap?

• Prior to the 2017 Trump tax cuts, taxpayers could deduct their state and local taxes from their federal income tax. So, the higher your state and local taxes are, the less you pay in federal taxes.
• The 2017 Trump tax cuts put a cap of that deduction to $10,000. Most people never reach that cap. Only richer taxpayers pay more than $10,000 in state and local taxes, so with the new cap they could only deduct up to $10,000 from their federal tax.
• In Biden’s Build Back Broke bill, the Democrats raise the deduction to $80,000. That means millionaires in high tax states (blue states) can deduct more and more state and local taxes from their federal income tax. It’s a blue state millionaire bailout, and even the liberal Washington Post concedes the blatant hypocrisy of the Left.

Our ad there targeted Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine), a Democrat representing a district that went for Trump.

Coincidentally (or not...), a day after we announced our massive ad buy targeting his district, he tweeted this:

We’re putting the pressure on Democrats, and will hold them accountable for voting for this monstrous bill.

Now, the bill heads to the Senate. With your help, we will fight as hard as we can to prevent this disaster of a bill from reaching Joe Biden’s desk.

Don't Draft Our Daughters

This week, the Senate voted to move the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) toward a floor debate. The House passed this year’s NDAA in September.

As a reminder, the NDAA is a critical piece of legislation that funds the military for the next fiscal year. It’s usually passed in a bipartisan manner. This year, however, the NDAA includes a provision that requires women to register for Selective Service (otherwise known as the draft).

The Selective Service itself does nothing to improve military readiness, so expanding it to include women is doubling down on bad policy. Most current registrants would not qualify for military service whether they were drafted or not.

Instead of forcing women to register for the draft, Congress should end Selective Service and replace it with something that better serves modern national security needs.

Fortunately, Senators Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), and Mike Lee (R-Utah) have all recognized that this is bad policy and have introduced separate amendments to remove the provision from NDAA, and several more Senators have signed onto these amendments in support.

Senators should demand that this issue receive a vote on the Senate floor, it’s important to know who will vote to draft our daughters.

Vaccine Mandate Stalled... For Now

Earlier this month, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily halted Biden’s unlawful vaccine mandate and described the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) rule as having “grave statutory and constitutional issues.”

After the Biden admin challenged the ruling, the Court last Friday doubled-down and called the mandate “fatally flawed.”

For now, the mandate has been stopped… but only temporarily. We need to keep up the pressure on OSHA to let Biden and his cronies know that this mandate is unlawful, counterproductive, and un-American.

We’re winning this fight, but the fight goes on.
