Enough is enough! The Senate's unprecedented move to flout the rules is a complete disregard for the rule of law and allows any majority to do whatever it wants whenever they like.
It is a bold and blatant lie to call a $4 TRILLION tax cut for the rich the "budget baseline" and will result in the destruction of Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and many, many other programs and Depts that keep us safe, healthy and our democracy strong.
It is an outrageous lie that such tax cuts for the people who need it least "will tremendously boost the economy" according to Senator Graham. TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS DOES NOT WORK. It hasn't worked for the 50 years, and these cuts only serve to fatten the wallets of those who are already rich.
The wealth gap in our country is the largest its ever been in history, thanks in large part to these tax cuts first passed in 2017. While the vast majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, one emergency away from homelessness.
Please do everything in your power, just like Senator Booker has and Senator Sanders and Congressmember Ocasio-Cortez are, to call this out for what it is: treasonous greed and a dangerous disregard for the rule of law.
Thank you for your work for the American people, and for putting people before profits.
