| Ohio 11th Congressional District Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge |
CLEVELAND URBAN NEWS.COM, WASHINGTON D.C. – Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11), whose largely Black 11th congressional district includes Cleveland, was upset about the House vote today regarding the passage of the Republican tax bill, which would require approval by the Senate to become law, President Trump making it clear that he will not veto the proposed legislation.
“Today, House Republicans voted to raise taxes on low and middle income families and to explode the deficit, all to give tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations," said Fudge. "The Republican tax bill will widen the income inequality gap and make it more difficult for working Americans to realize the
American dream."
She urged the U.S. Senate to reject the measure.
The congresswoman continued.
“The Republican tax bill means working families will pay more in taxes than corporations." Fudge said." The bill will increase health insurance premiums and leave 13 million Americans uninsured."
The federal lawmaker said that "with medicare, medicaid, and social security next on the chopping block, this tax bill will disproportionately hurt our nation’s seniors, people with disabilities, veterans and the poor while benefiting the wealthy."
And she said she is not fooled by the Republican shenanigans that she says hurt the nation's most vulnerable.
“Despite what Republicans claim, trickle-down economics doesn’t work," said Fudge. "History has proven that tax cuts for the wealthy add to our nation’s deficit, they do not decrease the debt or create jobs."
Republicans control both chambers of congress and the White House.
