Progressive caucus chair @RepJayapal says she spoke to White House and was told Republicans rejected these deficit-reduction measures: —ending "tax subsidies to big oil" —closing carried interest loophole —more Medicare drug price negotiation —minimum tax for billionaires
@sahilkapur @UROCKlive1 @RepJayapal Of course, they ONLY serve the 1% because they surely don't serve the 99% of Americans.
@sahilkapur @AOC @RepJayapal Translation: Progressive caucus chair @RepJayapal says she spoke to White House and was told Republicans rejected these deficit-reduction measures: —raising the price of gas —reducing investment —driving up rx cost for anyone not on medicare —outright theft
@sahilkapur @RepJayapal Tax super PACs, lobbying and luxury goods.
@sahilkapur @RepJayapal The Republicans want a default, point, black, period!
@sahilkapur @RepJayapal Just in case anyone was still on the fence about their desire to make the rich richer and the poor poorer
@sahilkapur @RepJayapal #gop #kevinmccarthy aren't interested in reducing spending on stuff for billionaires and large corps who don't need it
@sahilkapur @AOC @RepJayapal Both the White House and @RepJayapal have less credibility than an executive at Enron. Govt spending causes inflation, which is the most regressive tax there is, and hurts the poor the most. The best thing for the poor is to reduce spending.
