The GOP are masters at protecting the interests of their real base – the wealthy and corporations.

• 2017’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA): This scam that ended up hurting low- and moderate-income Americans, while delivering huge tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations, many of the latter owing $0, while costing the country $1.9 trillion dollars over 10 years.
• The CARES Act: The GOP managed to sneak in a $90 billion dollar loophole that they left out of the TCJA, a bonanza for approximately 43,000 millionaires who had businesses suspiciously like Donald Trump’s.
• H.R.23 – Family and Small Business Protection Bill: They are selling this with an anti-government, fear-based campaign (A “SHADOW ARMY” with “AK-15s” and “trained to kill Americans” is “ready to shoot some small business person in Iowa.”) They all should be ashamed. What it will actually do is harm those mentioned in its title, protect the top 1% from audits and create $114 billion increase in deficits over the next decade. 

Call/email action – Tell your senators – Make the wealthy tax cheats pay their fair share!
