Dear Friend,
After two years, the evidence is in. President Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act (aka the Trump Tax Scam) has made things much worse by exacerbating
income and wealth inequality with the vast majority of the tax cuts going
to the richest 1% and big corporations.
[ [link removed] ]***SIGN OUR LETTER calling on the U.S. Congress to repeal the Trump Tax
Scam and instead pass tax policies that boost our families and our
economy!
President Trump and his sub-group of cronies in Congress are balloning the
national debt and using their $2 trillion in tax cuts as an excuse to try
and make deep cuts to SNAP (food stamps), school lunches, Medicaid,
Medicare, and education programs.
No matter where we come from or what our color, we work hard for our
families. But today, certain politicians and their greedy lobbyists hurt
everyone by handing kickbacks to the rich, de-funding our schools, taking
food away from hungry children, and threatening our seniors with cuts to
Medicare and Social Security. Then they turn around and unfairly, and
unjustly, point their finger for our hard times at poor families, people
of color, and new immigrants to try to divide us and also to distract us
all from the injustice of their policies.But we won’t be distracted or
divided.
Join together with people from all walks of life to fight for our future,
just like we did when we won better wages, safer workplaces, and civil
rights in our past. By joining together, we can create a tax system that
is fair for all families, not just the wealthy few.

families and economy!
The claim was that giant, unpaid-for tax cuts for the wealthy and
corporations would increase jobs, pay for themselves, give every family a
big raise and really hurt rich people like Donald Trump. The evidence says
otherwise.
REALITY: The richest 1% are getting an average tax cut that’s 75 times
more than the average tax cut of the bottom 80%―$50,000 vs. $645.
REALITY: Donald Trump and his family will benefit personally by millions
of dollars from five features of the tax scam: lower top income tax rates;
the deep corporate tax cuts; a weakened estate tax; a tax break mostly
benefiting wealthy business owners like Trump; and real-estate loopholes
the tax law opened.
REALITY: The total cost of the tax cuts is estimated at $1.9 trillion,
according to the Congressional Budget Office, which will be added to the
national debt and is being used by Trump and his friends in Congress to
try and make deep cuts to SNAP, school lunches, Medicaid, Medicare, and
more. [1]
[ [link removed] ]We demand Congress listen to moms, dads, and concerned people and
repeal the tax cuts for the rich and mega-corporations and pass tax
policies that works for all of us. ADD YOUR NAME TO OUR LETTER!
What would a tax system look like that lifts up working families rather
than wealthy corporations and the uber-rich? For starters, Congress can
pass policies like the Working Families Tax Relief Act—a bill that makes
major improvements to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax
Credit and puts money back in the pockets of working families. [2] This
bill alone would raise the incomes of 46 million households and would lift
11 million children out of poverty. [3] In addition, we need tax policies
that make the wealthy and mega-corporations pay their fair share. This
includes, raising taxes on the super-rich, both on high incomes and
accumulated wealth; reforming taxation of investment income so that wealth
is taxed more like work; reinvigorating the corporate tax code by raising
rates, closing loopholes, and repealing incentives to offshore profits and
outsource jobs; and ending tax breaks for wealthy businesses, such as a
special real-estate provisions that have benefited the Trump family. [4]
These actions will create a fairer tax system that centers the work and
well-being of working families rather than the mega-wealthy and
corporations. Plus it will boost our economy!
