Tell Republicans: Cut the deficit by scrapping tax cuts for the rich, NOT gutting our healthcare and Social Security

After Trump and Republicans in Congress forced through a budget busting tax bill in order to pad their pockets and those of their wealthy donors, America’s deficit surged at a record-breaking pace. Their response? Proposing another gift to the wealthy (tax scam 2.0) that would plunge our nation $2 trillion deeper in debt and to blame the surging debt on the safety net of benefits that Americans have a right to — Social Security and basic healthcare.

This of course was their plan all along — to steer our nation to the brink of bankruptcy by allowing the already wealthy and privileged to get out of paying their fair share and then use it as an excuse to abandon the basic needs of everyday Americans as well as the most vulnerable among us. It’s a betrayal of the American people and we refuse to stand for it.

Add your name to tell Trump, Mitch McConnell, and the rest of the Republican Party that we see through their scheme and we won’t to stand for it! It was Republicans’ irresponsible coddling of their mega-donors that got us into this mess, and we will not be the ones to bail them out.

We, the undersigned, call on Republicans to move toward a balanced budget by eliminating their reckless tax scam and leaving our benefits alone!
