Cummings (D-MD) released the following statement on the House revote of the Republican tax bill: If you are a middle class American, or someone working to get into the middle class, this Republican tax bill is a scam. Republicans advertised their plan as helping the middle class, but it actually helps President Trump, his family, and his filthy rich corporate friends beyond their wildest dreams. This is one of the biggest transfers of wealth to the rich in the history of our country. Even worse than this kleptocracy, the bill explodes the deficit by more than a trillion dollars, and Republicans are already using this factwhich they createdas a pretext to slash key programs that middle class families rely on every single day, like Medicare and Social Security. When you add up all the numbers, this bill hurts middle class familiesespecially people of colorso Republicans can lavish hundreds of billions of dollars on President Trump and his rich corporate friends. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
