Wealthy Donor Class to Republicans: Get Our Massive Tax Cuts Done or Dont Ever Call Us Again

They aren’t even hiding it. It’s in plain view for all to see.

The wealthy Republican donor class wants their massive Trump tax cuts right now and on the backs of working Americans no less or else Republicans will pay.

A House Republican lawmaker acknowledged on Tuesday that he's facing pressure from donors to ensure the GOP tax-reform proposal gets done.

Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.) had been describing the flurry of lobbying from special interests seeking to protect favored tax provisions when a reporter asked if donors are happy with the tax-reform proposal.

"My donors are basically saying, 'Get it done or don't ever call me again,' " Collins replied
.


The JCT analysis has confirmed that hard working Americans will pay for these massive tax cuts, so Donald Trump and his Swamp can reap the benefits.

36 million Americans will pay for the “Trump family tax cuts”.

The Elected Officials actually work for the Top 1%, not the average voter.

Don't tell anyone.

of the entire country over to them since that is what they want. They want to kill AND bankrupt everyone except the 1% by cutting healthcare and making it unaffordable and by paying workers a wage they can barely survive on.

"According to JCT, 36 MILLION households will see a tax increase of at least $100 by 2027 under the Republican tax plan!"
