Hey, @BillCassidy you were on @ThisWeekABC claiming the "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022" will raise taxes on those making less than $200,000 and referred to the Joint Committee on Taxation for this claim. Can you provide where @JCTgov stated this? I can't find it. /1

According to the Editors at Bloomberg @opinion

"this is a sober attempt at fiscal responsibility"

"this compromise would be a big win...for the US Taxpayer. As America's loquacious president once said in another context, it's a big effing deal." /2

It allows Medicare to negotiate prescription drug costs. A savings of $288 billion over 10 years for Taxpayers. It's almost like you want to protect Big Pharma profits.

Could this be why you are a NO?🤔 /3

It sets a 15% minimum tax on Corporations who earn more than $1 billion in profits and will raise $313 billion over the next 10 years. That's 200 mega corporations who seem to never pay the 21% rate or because of loopholes pay ZERO in taxes. Is this why you are a NO? 🤔 /4

According to the article by @LisaMascaro & @MatthewDalyWDC published in the @washingtonpost

"The bill sticks with Biden’s original pledge not to raise taxes on families or businesses making less than $400,000 a year."

Maybe you should go read it.👇

For the life of me, I don't know why @jonkarl at @ThisWeekABC allowed you to get away with this claim that"

"50% of taxes raised will come from Americans making less than $200,000 a year."

Come on Jonathan do better. His statement isn't true. See the Tweet above:👆

Let's move onto the #PACTAct. You claim there was a "$400 billion dollar drafting error" and this is why you voted NO. Why did you vote YES, the 1st time with the drafting error? Even @TedCruz is pushing the lie.

@jonstewart explains it best👇 /7

You and my #maga Republican opponent @RepDanBishop need to go out to the steps of the Capitol and talk to my fellow #Veterans and their spouses who are on Day 4 advocating for @GOP to pass the #PACTAct. Y'all need to stop the lies and honor our #Veterans. @Burnpit360 @VoteVets

So, in my opinion and my research Senator, you came on the Sunday Talk shows to spread lies about your NO Vote on the #PACTAct and your misinformation claim that the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is raising taxes on those making less than $200,000.
SHAME. #ncpol #nc08
