Dozens Of Protesters Arrested In The Senate As People Warn Tax Cuts For The Rich Will Kill Them

By Jason Easley on Tue, Nov 28th, 2017 at 3:36 pm


At least a dozen protesters were arrested as the Senate Budget Committee advanced the tax cuts for the rich that would also take healthcare away from 13 million Americans. The protesters chanted, “Don’t kill us. Kill the bill.”

MSNBC reported that at least a dozen people were arrested, as they drowned out the MSNBC report:

Tax reform is complicated, and most people were not paying attention until Republicans had the idea of attaching the individual mandate repeal to the tax cuts for the wealthy. The tax cut bill is wildly unpopular. It has an approval rating of 25%, and it takes some twisted logic to understand why Republicans believe that they must pass this bill. Republicans think they have to pass it to survive the 2018 election, but the bill is so disliked that it is only going to add fuel to the fire that already has voted enraged ahead of the 2018 election.

With only days to go until the bill potentially passes the Senate, Americans are starting to wake up and realize that the shameful Republican tax cuts for the rich must be stopped.

1. Good for them

This is what we need to be focused on. As well as net neutrality.

[questionseverything]

7. net neutrality is the biggest thing long term because

ending it will end free speech on the net and the free exchange of ideas...

but yes this tax give away to 1 %ers is a freaking nightmare

we also need to focus on bama and the senate race

the list of important stuff is so long it is overwhelming

2. I missed the email notification of this protest

I'm sorry I did; I would have loved to be there.

Democrats must talk about this steaming pile of shit of a tax bill all day, every day. This is the "boring" stuff most people don't pay attention to, until it's too late.

After filling in the forms and hitting submit I get a message that the senate email system is down for maintenance. I call bs on that !!!

9. It's about time there is resistance on this.

This bill will cause a lot of trouble economically, as well as rob the poor and middle class.

Voting republican is pure insanity.
