Episode notes
GOP Tax Bill's Broken Promises
- The GOP tax bill fails to keep promises made by President Trump regarding tax relief on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits.
- These elements are still subject to payroll taxes despite claims, exposing the bill as misleading to working people.
Health Insurance Costs Will Rise
- Republicans' failure to extend enhanced tax credits will increase health insurance premiums and the number of uninsured Americans.
- This impact will broadly affect those relying on marketplace insurance, not only subsidy recipients.
Tax Bill Favors the Wealthy
- The tax bill primarily benefits the wealthiest by cutting their taxes while increasing the national deficit.
- Simultaneously, it harms working-class Americans by cutting health insurance access and inadequately restoring the state and local tax deduction.
