We are teaming up with Education Minnesota to show Rep. Paulsen that we oppose the Tax Reform bill which he has been enthusiastically supporting.
On Nov. 16, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the tax reform bill, H.R. 1 “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.” This bill will hurt educators and the middle class while giving massive tax breaks to corporations and the top 1 percent. Rep. Erik Paulsen voted “yes” to help pass this bill.
In order to give massive, and permanent, tax cuts to their wealthy friends and donors, Republicans passed a bill that takes a hatchet to the middle class. The tax bill is going to raise taxes on millions of Americans at the same time it raises their healthcare premiums.
This give us an opportunity to let Rep. Erik Paulsen know that we are unhappy with this tax bill that hurts educators and working families in support of corporations and the wealthy. On Wednesday, Nov. 29 from 4–5 p.m., we are going to hold a rally outside of Rep. Paulsen’s office and let him know that we are unhappy with the GOP tax plan.
