ORRIN HATCH ON “DEATH & TAXES” FOR THE MAJORITY, “OVER YOUR DEAD BODY”
 |
Here's To You Down the Hatch! |
SEN ORRIN HATCH, CHAIRMAN OF SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE
IS GEARING UP FOR PUSHING FORTH LEGISLATION DISGUISED AS “TAX REFORM.”
THE REPUBLICAN AGENDA IS TO SERVE THE WEALTHY.
THE PLAN IS MORE OF THE SAME; THE “FRACKING OF
AMERICAN TAXPAYERS TO SQUEEZE YOUR LAST DIME.”
WE CAN NO LONGER ALLOW THEIR “BAIT & SWITCH” AND BURY
TAX BREAKS FOR THE WEALTHIEST WITHIN A THOUSAND PAGE BILL
Millions of Americans received an email sponsored by ten
different advocate groups urging you to sign on and respond to the call from
Sen. Orrin Hatch for input on tax reform. The Senate Finance Committee writing
a tax reform bill and they are not soliciting your views, opinions or
objections but those of billionaires and mega-corporations as to what they
would like to see in tax reform. It is the same as their health care bill. It
is written behind closed doors without your input. This is the email I sent. It
may have been received a day late. However, I felt compelled to be heard.
“I may have been born late at
night, but not last night.”
Here is my response
to the Senate Finance Committee on Tax Reform and Chairman Orrin Hatch.
To: Hon. Senator
Orrin Hatch, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee
(The suggested default
wording in quotations precedes the comments I added in bold).
“I am a U.S. taxpayer, and I am opposed to Donald Trump’s
and the GOP’s plan to give huge tax breaks to millionaires and wealthy
corporations, which will be paid for by cutting Social Security, Medicare,
Medicaid, education, and other critical services. Half of the Trump tax cuts
will go to the richest 1%, while big corporations holding profits offshore get
a huge tax cut. Instead, we need real tax reform to make sure the wealthy and
big corporations pay their fair share.
Here are our tax
principles that we urge Congress to act on:
a) No more tax cuts
for the wealthy and big corporations. They should pay their fair share of
taxes―a lot more than they pay now.
b) Invest those tax dollars in our country’s future―in
public roads and transit systems; quality and affordable early childhood
education; public schools and higher education; researching new medical cures;
and ensuring a secure retirement for all of us by strengthening Social
Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
c) Eliminate all tax breaks that encourage multinational
corporations to shift jobs and profits offshore.
d) Require corporations to pay the $750 billion they owe on
their $2.6 trillion in offshore profits. Use the funds to rebuild roads and
bridges, improve schools and create millions of good-paying jobs.
More Americans are
now paying close attention to bills that impact their lives. Do not slip in
changes to Tax Law that is earmarked for a wealthy few putting additional
burden on 98%. Watch groups will be scrutinizing every item.
One reminder proves
the case. Once the American people learned repealing Obamacare recognized this
is the Affordable Care Act. Republicans know their constituents faced angry and
a unified electorate demanding the ACA remain and Congress is given the mandate
to extend health care. The same outrage will occur if your Finance Committee
introduces to the Senate floor huge tax breaks for individuals and
corporations. We remind the Committee; Senators are expected to work for all of
the American people. How much longer will you ignore your oath of office?
"Not a penny more for Tyranny!"
