John,
We just learned that between 2018 and 2019, Donald Trump’s tax scam handed a $32 billion windfall to America’s six wealthiest banks―including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley.[1]
And while corporate profits continued their rise, corporate income tax payments plummeted by more than 40%.[2] Republicans in Congress are using their self-imposed deficit to try and cut critical services for working families including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, education and much more.
Now, Donald Trump has announced that he’s releasing an Election Year Tax Scam 2 in JUST 90 days, which he once again claims will benefit working families.[3] Remember, Tax Scam 1 is giving the richest 1% an average tax cut of $50,000 in 2020, but the bottom 80% of taxpayers will get an average tax cut of just $645.[4] Should we believe him the second time?
If Donald Trump and congressional Republicans are successful on Election Day 2020, it’s because we haven’t done enough to educate and rally the American people against their trickle-down tax plans that benefit the rich and corporations at the expense of working families.
Thankfully, we have a road map to win!
In 2018, Democrats rode a blue wave to victory, opposing the Trump-GOP tax scam for the rich and corporations. And, thanks to you, every top Democratic presidential candidate has a tax and investment plan more than double the size of Hillary Clinton’s plans from 2016, as documented by ATF Action Fund.[5]
