Warren Says NO To Giving Tax Cuts To The Rich That's Paid For BY Cuts Hurting The Elderly, The Poor, And Children

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) is not against tax cuts. But she doesn't think those cuts are needed for the rich, especially if it's done by cutting programs benefitting seniors, the poor, and children. Here is her latest message:
Republican leaders are trying to dress up a massive tax break for billionaires and giant corporations as “tax reform.” And they want to pay for it by gutting Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public education, and other critical services for working families.
This feels like the health care fight all over again. We can’t let our guard down―for even a moment.
Washington already works great for those who can afford to stash money in the Cayman Islands or ship jobs overseas. Now Donald Trump and Republican leaders want to rig the system even more. Their proposed budgets would slash between $4 and $6 trillion from services that children, seniors, people with disabilities, and working people depend on—just so that they can afford more special breaks for their wealthy campaign donors. America’s working families need us right now. We didn’t win the health care fight because of senators like me. That victory came from people like you.
People who made phone calls, sent letters and emails, attended town hall meetings, organized a protest, posted and tweeted stories, and spoke to their friends and neighbors. Your work all across the country made all the difference. This tax and budget fight is no different. We must make our voices heard. We can’t win if we don’t fight back. When the rich pay their fair share, we’ll be able to invest in our country’s future: rebuilding roads and bridges, educating our children, expanding health care, ensuring a secure retirement for seniors, and much more. People like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan are willing to take health care away from millions of Americans. They’re willing to cut nutrition programs for low-income children and seniors. They’re willing to slash support for public education and college for the next generation to get ahead. All to give massive tax breaks to billionaires and wealthy corporations. We must fight. We must persist. And we must win. Thanks for being a part of this,
Elizabeth
