In a heated House Committee meeting, Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) vocally opposed the GOP's budget legislation linked to Trump's agenda, which she argued disproportionately benefits wealthy Americans. She expressed her discontent at midnight votes that prioritized tax cuts for billionaires while merely offering temporary relief for average citizens. Plaskett warned that the proposed measures would harm the healthcare system and weaken the country, urging her colleagues to recognize the risk of favoring corporations over the needs of American families and communities.
We watched Republicans give away the farm to greedy billionaires, the CEOs and corporations, making permanent tax cuts for the richest and trying to trick the rest of Americans.
Our Republican colleagues in the Energy and Commerce Committee tried to rip away healthcare from Americans that need it to pay for their giveaways to big corporations and the rich.
Don't be fooled. It's about the wealthy people in this country, not you and me.
We're going to be weaker because of this legislation. You can believe that.
