Dear Friend,
We already know that our country’s tax policies benefit the wealthy and
mega-corporations at the expense of working families, women, and people of
color—years of upside down policies have shown us that.
And now House Republicans want to hit us again where it hurts: right in
our wallets! They’ve proposed a 30% federal sales tax that would give the
wealthy a huge tax cut, raise taxes on working families, and threaten
programs like child care, healthcare, and Social Security.
The time to speak out is now!!!

The FairTax Act of 2023 is anything but fair! The House GOP’s tax plan
would abolish the corporate income tax, the individual income tax (which
is mostly paid by wealthy Americans), the estate tax (which is exclusively
paid by couples worth over $25 million), and payroll taxes (which finance
Social Security and parts of Medicare). [1] It would even eliminate the
Child Tax Credit—a program we know reduces child poverty and helps our
families make ends meet. [ [link removed] ]
In return for this massive tax cut to the wealthy, House Republicans want
to enforce a 30% federal sales tax onto everything we buy: groceries,
utility bills, healthcare premiums, even cars, rent, and houses. This
would be a massive tax shift onto the backs of working families who are
already struggling to make ends meet.
This is another example of the MAGA wing of the Republican Party taking
over the House of Representatives. Instead of fighting inflation or
solving other problems facing working families like the high cost of child
care or lack of paid family/medical leave, House Republicans want to give
another huge tax cut to the rich through a 30% national sales tax. In
addition to the “FairTax Act,” they also are proposing making all the
Trump-era tax cuts to mega-corporations and the wealthy permanent. Those
Trump era tax giveaways were a bad idea when Trump was a president, and an
even worse idea now when we’ve seen how much Wall Street has profited from
the pandemic. [ [link removed] ]
Speak out against tax policies that benefit the mega-wealthy and big
corporations at the expense of our families!
[2]SIGN OUR LETTER saying “NO” to the GOP’s 30% federal sales tax!
The tax policies House Republicans are proposing only lead to further
income inequality and a tax code that continues to be sexist and racist.
Instead we need tax policies that lift up families– like making the
expansion of the Child Tax Credit permanent– and make sure the wealthy and
mega-corporations pay their fair share in taxes in order to fund our
shared priorities like child care, paid parental/medical leave, and care
for the elderly and people with disabilities.
Join us in continuing to speak out against harmful tax policies. [3]Sign

sign on as well.
