Corporations and the ultra-wealthy are scamming our tax system. Let’s change that for good. Together, we can deliver tax reform that works for working families.

In 2017, Trump gave a $2 trillion tax cut mostly sucked up by billionaires and big corporations. But it was so expensive, Republicans set many of their tax cuts to end after 2025. Now, Republicans want to steal from working people to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump are going to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations by cutting Social Security and Medicare. Everyone needs to be talking about this.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

Elon Musk reiterated his intention to destroy programs like Social Security, which he has called a Ponzi scheme: "Most of the federal spending is entitlements... that’s the big one to eliminate."

Republican values: If you’re a billionaire, here’s a tax cut. If you’re a working family, good luck affording groceries, healthcare, or childcare.

4 in 5 Americans support raising taxes on the rich — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress want to cut taxes for the rich and pay for it by slashing funding for nursing homes and school lunches.

In order to give tax breaks to billionaires, House Republicans are putting Medicaid on the chopping block – even at the expense of their own constituents. It’s just plain cruel. cnn.com/2025/03/07/pol…

House Republicans are playing pretend, saying they won’t cut Medicare or Medicaid while pushing a budget that can only work by cutting both—all to fund tax cuts for the ultra-rich.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Republicans in Congress cannot reach their goal of cutting at least $1.5 trillion in spending over the next 10 years for Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” on taxes and immigration unless they cut Medicaid or Medicare benefits, a nonpartisan bookkeeper found. wapo.st/4kuEpwW

The chainsaw cuts through health care, food assistance, and programs that help working people, but has an off-switch for the rich? How convenient. 😑

Robert Reich@RBReich·
The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce. Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year. Hello?

IRS Direct File gives people the power to file taxes for free, but tax prep giants like TurboTax are lobbying to shut it down. Their business model depends on overcharging people—which is why they don’t want you to know there’s a better, free way to do it. fair.org/home/millionai…

A quick walkthrough of Trump Admin plans low-income people: 1.) Taxes on imported groceries, clothing, gas, medicine, & more. 2.) Cuts to nutrition assistance & health care so they pay more for each 3.) Extending the 2017 tax law ($125 tax cut for bottom 20%) Not a good deal.

Of course they’re making working people foot the bill—because they’re the ones cashing in. 🚨 Republicans in Congress writing tax policy have an average net worth of $15 MILLION—and the wealthiest among them stand to pocket $24.6 MILLION from the Trump tax “plan.” This isn’t tax policy. It’s class warfare.
Americans For Tax Fairness@4TaxFairness

NEW: The average net worth of Republican committee members responsible for writing tax policy is $15 MILLION. The wealthiest among them stand to gain $24.6 MILLION in tax cuts from the Trump tax scam. No wonder their budget makes working people pay for tax breaks for the rich.

Leb’s message reflects the concerns of many Americans who counted on Trump to keep his promise to lower prices. The question is simple: Will he stand with hard-working families or continue to side with the wealthy? The people who put him in office are watching closely.
Unrig Our Economy@UnrigOurEconomy

🚨NEW AD DROP! Leb, a Trump voter and veteran, has a question for the President: Are you on the side of billionaires & corporations or hard working people? Stop giving billionaires tax breaks while cutting Medicaid for hardworking Americans. Watch now & share! ⬇️

Trump's trade war will cost families $3,000 a year—a steep price to cover the budget hole left by tax breaks for the ultra-rich. Instead of focusing on lowering costs for working families, he's shifting the burden onto them to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

49% of Trump voters think the wealthy pay too little in taxes. 56% think big corporations don't pay enough. Meanwhile, 71% of Trump voters say cutting Medicaid is unacceptable. So why does Trump want so badly to slash taxes for the wealthy and cut Medicaid to pay for it? 🤔

After mass firings, the IRS is poised to close audits of wealthy taxpayers. IRS agents say that current audits of rich people and corporations could be closed down prematurely. The Treasury Department estimates that the 1% account for $163 billion in unpaid taxes each year.

As President Trump takes the stage tonight, millions of Americans are grappling with rising inflation and higher prices for essentials. Instead of addressing these real economic struggles, Trump will distract with more empty promises and focus on tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy.
