This Tax Day, my Republican colleagues are heralding their #GOPTaxScam law, which *RAISES* taxes on 86 million middle class Americans while a company like Pfizer pockets $218 million more *A WEEK* under the new law.

Happy Tax Day, I guess?

87% of Fortune 500 companies have announced no plans to share their #GOPTaxScam tax cuts with their employees. #HappyTaxDay

Under the #GOPTaxScam, 13 million more Americans will no longer have health insurance. #HappyTaxDay

The #GOPTaxScam will increase our deficit by $2.3 trillion dollars and Republicans want to pay for it by cutting vital programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. #HappyTaxDay

In Kentucky, the top 5% of earners will receive 61% of the state’s #GOPTaxScam tax breaks. This law was in no way written to benefit middle class workers. #HappyTaxDay though.
