REJECT TRUMP TAX PLAN

REJECT TRUMP TAX PLAN

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 6 (Monday, January 13, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 6 (Monday, January 13, 2025)] [House] [Page H98] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] REJECT TRUMP TAX PLAN (Mr. McGOVERN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, House Republicans leaked their plans for how they are going to cut taxes for their rich friends at the expense of regular working people. News flash: It is awful, awful, awful. A recent analysis of the Trump tax plan found that it would, on average, cut taxes for the richest 5 percent of Americans and raise taxes on everyone else, the 95 percent of the population who do not hang out at Mar-a-Lago. To pay for this sick and twisted plan that screws over regular people, they want to totally gut the Federal programs that help regular people. They want to cut the SNAP benefits by hundreds of billions of dollars, slashing the food budgets of millions of Americans by nearly a third. They want to rip healthcare away from people and block access to economic security programs for hardworking American families. That is the Republican playbook: Attack regular people and shower corporations and the ultrarich with tax breaks and hope that it trickles down. Let's reject this disgusting plan and invest in our anti-poverty safety net. Let's support our middle class and let's end hunger now. ____________________
