"They think that the rich are going to benefit? … Well, the rich are going to always benefit.  The question is: What works?"Senator Orrin Hatch

What ‘works'?  Certainly not the GOP tax cuts for the rich.  A new Reuters poll shows only 28 percent of Americans support the Ryan-McConnell tax framework.

Republicans' deeply damaging tax and budget agenda:

  • Raises taxes on middle class, working families
  • Borrows trillions from the future to give tax cuts to the wealthiest
  • Ransacks Medicare & Medicaid

What ‘works' for the American people is tax reform that puts the middle class first, not more deficit-exploding tax cuts for billionaires.  Instead of pushing their tax plan that would hurt hard-working families in all 50 states, Republicans must work with Democrats on bipartisan tax reform that guarantees not one penny in tax cuts for the rich.
