Party at the White House! (for the 1%)

From Protest to Power Trump is hosting a huge celebration at the White House today for Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and GOP Members of Congress. They passed the biggest wealth transfer in American history -- from the poor, working and middle classes to the super rich. Trump and the GOP are emboldened. Want to ruin their party? There must be a political price to pay for the tax scam. If we can’t change the minds of GOP Members of Congress, then it’s time to change who is in office. The rich and big corporations are about to get what President Donald Trump called “a big beautiful Christmas present.” GOP politicians have sold their souls to pay back their billionaire donors. Wall Street is about to have a party at our expense even though two thirds of people know that the tax scam will help the rich instead of working and middle class families and the poor. Will you help us take back Congress in 2018? Our movement politics program is training and supporting hundreds of grassroots leaders to run for Congress and state offices. They will be running on a shared platform that moves from protest to power. We call this a tax scam because the vast majority of tax cuts go to the wealthiest people and corporations. Meager tax cuts for working and middle class families will expire in 2025. The tax scam will starve the government and soon the GOP will come for your Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. It will drive 13 million people from their health care plans. This is a disaster from top to bottom. The tax bill pays for corporate tax cuts by increasing individual income taxes on poor and middle-class Americans in the long run. Can you help? Your generous support helped defeat Roy Moore and elect Doug Jones. You helped us play extraordinary defense to save the Affordable Care Act this year. With your help we can stop the hateful Trump and GOP agenda in 2018. We ended the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, and we will end the Trump tax cuts for the wealthy too. We worked really hard to defeat the tax scam, and we thank you for all of your calls and actions.
