Another day, another report about just how skewed the benefits of the GOP tax scam are towards the wealthiest Americans and corporations.

As President Trump and Congressional Republicans tout their #GOPTaxScam, news reports continue to show that corporations and the wealthy are seeing a huge payday thanks to the law while workers are left behind. Despite the GOP’s promise that the law wouldn’t benefit the wealthy, the numbers tell a different story. Take a look:

President Trump and Congressional Republicans are sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and who will pay the price?

Guess who isn’t seeing an increase in their paychecks under the GOP tax scam? The middle class.

ICYMI, OMB Director Mick Mulvaney told the House Budget Committee yesterday that the military parade requested by President Trump would cost taxpayers up to $30 million.
