Friend,

After an embarrassing start, House Republicans have officially taken power. Their first order of business was no surprise: They passed a massive tax giveaway for multimillionaires and big corporations.

Our expanded Democratic Senate Majority won’t let it happen. But we need to make it abundantly clear: The American people believe everyone should pay their fair share. If you agree, sign my petition right now.

The GOP's plan "defunds the IRS." But make no mistake: Their plan only helps the rich who want to cheat the system and increases the national deficit.

That's not right. Last year I led Senate Democrats in passing the Inflation Reduction Act to update old technology and hire more people at the IRS to answer the phones and process tax returns -- because Americans deserve quick turnaround on anything to do with their money. And most importantly, the biggest corporations and the wealthiest donors shouldn't get away with paying nothing in taxes.

I won't let House Republicans help their wealthy donors rig the system against working families. And I certainly won't let them lie and say they're doing so on behalf of the American people. If you're with me, I need you to sign your name today.

Onward,

Chuck Schumer
