Today, Leader Pelosi joined students for a town hall conversation moderated by Mo Elleithee at the Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service to discuss Democrats’ bold economic agenda A Better Deal.  During the discussion she highlighted Democrats’ commitment to fighting for the economic security of hard-working Americans through affordable health care, a fairer tax code and adding millions of good-paying jobs.

Remember when Republicans promised the GOP tax scam’s massive tax cuts for corporations would ‘put America first’, create more jobs and raise wages for American workers?

Another day, another way the debt-exploding GOP tax scam is failing hard-working American people to pad the pockets of the wealthiest few.

Even though Republicans sold their tax scam as a bill that will ‘pay for itself’ and bring much-needed relief to hard-working Americans, the truth was clear from the start:

The GOP tax scam ultimately raises taxes on 86 million middle class families to hand 83 percent of the tax cuts to the wealthiest one percent – while exploding the deficit by nearly $2 trillion.

Last December, Republicans passed a GOP tax scam that abandons working families to hand massive tax giveaways to the wealthiest one percent.

And among the biggest beneficiaries are big oil companies – reaping billions of dollars in tax breaks from the GOP tax scam.

As Republicans’ tax scam message continues to fail (only 27 percent of Americans approve), the GOP is now playing the blame game.

Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi delivered remarks on the Floor of the House of Representatives to honor the late Congresswoman Louise Slaughter.  Below are the Leader’s remarks:

Surprise, surprise.

Yet another analysis – this time from the Wall Street Journal – reveals big banks and Wall Street are the biggest beneficiaries of the GOP tax scam, not hard-working American families as Republicans promised.  

Today is Tax Day and President Trump, Speaker Ryan and House Republicans have been spreading misleading claims and promoting empty promises about the GOP tax scam all day long.
