National Committee President, House Dems Decry GOP Tax Plan’s “Dire” Impact on Seniors.
As Republicans remain indifferent – or in denial – about the impact of the Trump/GOP tax scam on older Americans, seniors’ defenders are sounding the alarm. National Committee president and CEO Max Richtman joined House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic representatives in front of the U.S. Capitol today to warn of the dangers the tax plan poses to seniors’ retirement and health security. Richtman called the tax bill a “con game that should be called the ‘Washington two-step.’”
Step one: cutting taxes for top-earning households and profitable corporations.
Step two: use the higher deficits the tax bill will create to cut critical programs, like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.”
