Republicans know exactly what they are doing—all so billionaires can get another tax cut.

4/4 Finally, the plan will also undoubtedly increase the debt/deficit. Who pays the price? The working class, which -- unlike the rich -- can't pay cash for major purchases like a home or car, in the form of higher interest rates.

3/4 The plan could also take an ax to tax policies that benefit the working class.

- End the child & dependent care tax credit
- ✂️ the mortgage interest deduction cap
- Make it harder for taxpayers to claim the child tax credit
- Eliminate tax credits for education expenses

2/4 But cuts to health and food programs aren't the only way the GOP would force the working class to foot the bill for tax cuts for the rich.

Congressional Republicans’ Budget Plans Would Force America’s Working Class To Foot the Bill for Tax Cuts for the Wealthy New budget proposals envision a massive tax giveaway to those at the top financed by working-class Americans, including cuts to health care and food programs.

1/4 Republicans are initiating a massive transfer of wealth from the working class to the ultra wealthy.

The plan includes $880 BILLION in cuts to Medicaid + $230 BILLION in cuts to help people afford food.

The tax cut for the top 1%: $1.24 TRILLION. 🧵 www.americanprogress.org/article/cong...
