HEADS UP: Here are 10 things I’ll bet you didn’t know about the GOP tax scam, but that should get you super angry when you find out:
1) GOP tax scam cuts Medicare! Yup, it does. By $28 billion NEXT YEAR alone.
2) GOP tax scam eliminates the tax credit that encourages businesses to hire VETERANS, especially veterans with disabilities. Not a joke.
3) GOP tax scam raises taxes on 47 million households, while cutting taxes for the richest 0.1% by an average of over $200,000.
4) GOP tax scam means teachers will no longer be able to deduct the cost of school supplies that they buy for their classrooms using their own money.
5) GOP tax scam implements “Chained-CPI” for the tax code, paving the way for using it on Social Security, which would cut benefits for seniors relative to current law.
6) GOP tax scam opens up a giant new campaign finance loophole, allowing big donors to funnel money into politics through “nonpartisan” charities. <-- This one's buried deep.
7) GOP tax scam opens up the Arctic wildlife refuge to drilling. Why is this in a tax bill? I don’t know. But it is.
8) GOP tax scam makes American children with parents who are undocumented immigrants INELIGIBLE for the child tax credit. U.S. citizen children! #defendDACA
9) GOP tax scam leaves lots of rich-person loopholes in place, like the “carried interest” loophole and the special tax break for golf course owners.
10) GOP tax scam gets rid of the tax credit that helps small businesses become accessible to people with disabilities. I am not making this up.
There are a bunch more terrible things in this bill that the House is voting on in THREE DAYS!

Get angry. Get on the phone. 888-654-1854

Tell Congress #NotOnePenny in tax cuts for the rich on the backs of everyone else.
