Stand with Keith Ellison: Repeal the Trump-Republican Tax Scam for the Rich and Corporations
All Members of Congress
In order to block deep cuts to the critical services that protect working families and older Americans, we must repeal the Trump-Republican tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations.
The Trump-GOP tax scam, which became law in December, doled out $1.5 trillion in tax breaks―mostly to the richest 1% and big corporations. Working families are left to pick up the tab. The Koch brothers―the second wealthiest family in the country worth approximately $96 billion―are estimated to receive $1 billion a year in tax breaks from the Trump-Republican tax scam.
The Koch brothers and their political donor network have already committed to spending up to $400 million on the 2018 election, as a thank you for the Republican Party's tax cuts for the rich. In fact, just 13 days after the House passed the tax law, the Kochs donated nearly $500,000 to “Team Ryan”―a joint fundraising committee of the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, which benefits the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) and Ryan’s Leadership PAC.
Stand with Representative Keith Ellison and demand that Congress repeal the Trump-GOP tax scam for the rich and corporations to make the 1% and wealthy corporations pay their fair share in taxes.

The Trump-GOP tax scam, which became law last December, doled out $1.5 trillion in tax breaks―mostly to the richest 1% and wealthy corporations, while working families are left to pick up the tab. These tax cuts will blow a huge hole in the debt and Republicans are demanding deep cuts in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and education to pay for them.
It’s time to end tax breaks for wealthy CEOs and corporations that shift profits offshore and outsource jobs. It’s time to end tax breaks for Big Pharma and greedy health insurance corporations. And it’s time to close loopholes that benefit the richest 1% and Wall Street.
We demand that Congress repeal the Trump-GOP tax scam for the rich and corporations. When we do, we’ll be able to protect critical services and invest in our families, communities and country’s future. We’ll be able to rebuild roads, bridges, and water systems. We’ll be able to fully fund education―pre-K through college. We’ll be able to protect our environment and move towards a renewable energy future, and much more!
