Tell Your Representative: Put Working Families First in Tax Legislation

posted in: Tax Policy, Uncategorized | 0

From Prosperity Now (https://prosperitynow.org/):

Don’t be fooled by the so-called Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: these tax cuts will do nothing for the working families who need the most help. Instead, it will supercharge wealth inequality and widen the racial wealth divide. Here’s why:

  • Tax cuts for the wealthy don’t pay for themselves. Lower taxes on corporations and the wealthiest Americans will be paid for by working families in the form of cuts to the programs they rely on.
  • The plan’s largest income boosts will go to millionaires, while providing nothing to help low-income people build wealth.
  • The plan will require taxpayers to provide a social security number to claim the full value of tax credits they rely on now. In other words, hard-working immigrant taxpayers get to join low-income people among the ranks of those excluded from the chance to get ahead.

While they decide whether to support this plan for “tax reform,” members of Congress need to hear from you today…before they hear from the lobbyists and special interests that stand to benefit at the expense of working families.

Thank you for using your voice to stand up for what’s right: the chance for everyone in our country to thrive.
