Tell Congress: Tax cuts for working families, not billionaires!

President Trump and Republican leaders in the U.S. Congress are busy writing a plan that will hand out massive tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires and wealthy corporations―at your expense.

To pay for their scheme, they will make deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, and education programs and many other critical public services that we hold dear and that our families and communities depend on.

The chief architect of the Senate tax giveaway is U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch (UT-R), chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee. He just announced that he’s requesting input “from experts and stakeholders” on how best to reform the tax system. We have only until July 17th to respond.

Senator Hatch wants to hear from the army of high-priced corporate lobbyists roaming the halls of Congress representing Wall Street banks and giant corporations, like Big Oil and Big Pharma.

But you’re also a stakeholder in this, and that means U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch should hear from you too. Sign our letter to Senator Hatch and the U.S. Congress NOW!

Dear Senator Hatch and all Members of Congress:

I am a U.S. taxpayer, and I am opposed to President Trump’s and the GOP’s plan to give huge tax breaks to millionaires and wealthy corporations, which will be paid for by cutting Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP, and education programs and many other critical public services. Half of the Trump tax cuts will go to the richest 1%, while big corporations holding profits offshore get a huge tax cut. Instead, we need real tax reform to make sure the wealthy and big corporations pay their fair share and working families can benefit equally from our tax system and economy.

Here are our tax principles that we urge Congress to act on:

No more tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations. They should pay their fair share of taxes―a lot more than they pay now.

Invest those tax dollars in our country’s future―in public roads and transit systems; quality and affordable early childhood education; public schools and higher education; researching new medical cures; and ensuring a secure retirement for all of us by strengthening Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Eliminate all tax breaks that encourage multinational corporations to shift jobs and profits offshore.

Require corporations pay the $750 billion they owe on their $2.6 trillion in offshore profits. Use the funds to rebuild roads and bridges, improve schools and create millions of good-paying jobs.

Strengthen working family tax credits so our families can better contribute to our national economy, this includes expanding and strengthening the Child Tax Credit (CTC), Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), and Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC).
