Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein’s (D. CA) re-election campaign:
In case you missed it, I wrote in the Los Angeles Times earlier this week about how the Republican tax bill will harm middle-class families and favor big corporations.
We simply must stop this bill from ever becoming law.
Under the Republican tax plans, families will not be able to claim state and local tax deductions in California, but corporations will. The Senate version would make the corporate tax cut permanent while raising taxes on middle-class Americans. The plan also attacks the Affordable Care Act, raising rates by 10 percent every year for middle-class families.
There’s still time to stop this bill. Will you stand with me in urging Republicans, including the 14 Republican California House members, to vote against this harmful tax bill? >>
The House and the Senate are reconciling their differences and will release a bill for both chambers to vote on. We need to mobilize to prevent the final legislation from passing the House or the Senate.
That is why I’m urging Republicans, including the 14 House members serving Californians, to reject the bill because the consequences will be devastating for middle-class families.
Join me in urging Republicans to reject the GOP tax bill and put the middle-class first >>
Republicans are saying that their tax cut will pay for itself. According to the Joint Committee on Taxation, this claim is false. It would increase the deficit and would force Congress to cut back on social programs.
Republicans have hid their intentions to cut Social Security and Medicare in this tax bill. We must stand against this bill while we still have time to stop it.
Thank you for standing with me,
Dianne
