But there is still time to fight this dumpster fire of a bill. The focus now shifts back to the House of Representatives, which may vote as early as this week to send the version of the bill passed by the Senate to Trump’s desk to be signed into law.
Key Republican representatives know that their constituents overwhelmingly oppose the Trump Tax Scam, and now they have one more chance to stop the bill that will hurt middle- and lower-income families while giving Trump and his wealthiest friends a huge tax handout.2,3,4 As we showed when we stopped Trumpcare, our collective action makes a difference. We must keep up the fight.

Republicans are desperate to deliver a win to their corporate donors and the Trump Tax Scam is a massive handout to corporations and the wealthiest Americans. They are trying to pull the wool over their constituents eyes with the false promise of tax cuts for working Americans, but in reality the Trump tax scam would be devastating.5
Here is just some of what is in the Trump Tax Scam:
The Trump tax scam would:
- Repeal the deduction for state and local taxes, used by the majority of middle-class taxpayers, and strain budgets for local services. 6
- Allow massive amounts of wealth to accumulate untaxed by raising the cap and then eliminating the estate tax – a tax paid only by the ultra-wealthy.7
- Slash the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to just 20 percent – less than what most workers would pay.8
- Allow tax dodgers to get away with refusing to pay their fair share by eliminating the alternative minimum tax, which has been a safeguard against the ultra-wealthy like Donald Trump paying virtually nothing in taxes.9
- Sneakily undermine health care by repealing the individual mandate.10
- Increase the burden of health care costs by eliminating the deduction for out-of-pocket medical expenses.11
- Strike an intentional blow to abortion rights and lay the groundwork for banning abortion outright by enshrining the language “unborn child” into the federal tax code.12
- Make higher education even more unaffordable by eliminating the deduction for student loan interest and ending exemptions for graduate students paid for research work or teaching while in school.13
- Reduce incentives for consumers to purchase clean energy vehicles.14
- Jeopardize the fragile natural environment of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by opening it up to drilling in order to pay for corporate tax handouts.15
