The Republican tax bill is a job killer. It provides a huge incentive for companies to outsource good-paying American jobs.
As many as 40 million working families will actually see their taxes increase, while 45% of benefits in the bill will go directly to individuals making more than $500,000.
Cuts to essential programs like Medicare and Medicaid mean that the eligibility age for Medicare will raise to 67 -- putting retirees at risk.
The GOP tax plan allows corporations to deduct payments for their lawyers to fight unions, but removes a provision allowing union members to deduct their own dues.
The bill repeals deductions for stateand local taxes, making it harder for states to invest in education, infrastructure and creating good jobs.
Please call your member of congress and tell them to vote "no" on this tax bill.
