Check out Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) example of how great this tax cuts bill is going to be for Americans.
Just for context, the median income for Texans for the last decade has been about $55,000, annually. How many households in the U.S. are making $60K in wages, and then have an extra non-corporate business from which they’re making $40K? How in the hell is this anywhere near a normal scenario for normal families? Cornyn has always been an inveterate liar and unprincipled hack, but this is extreme even for him.
By contrast, where’s what the tax cuts are really going to look like:
In reality, the one in which couples aren’t both wage workers and business owners, Cornyn’s family is going to get about $900 next year. That $75 a month is really going to have them living high on the hog, huh? And the $5 a month people earning $25,000 or less is sure going to be stimulating the economy, isn’t it!
We’ve seen an awful lot of bullshit from Republicans, but now they’re veering into total fantasy land.
Stop the vote-buying! Sen. Bob Corker just got a lot richer thanks to a last-minute provision in the GOP TaxScam, after which he flipped his vote from NO to YES. Call your Senate & House members again at (202) 224-3121. Tell them to say NO to this corrupt deal & the #CorkerKickBack.
