Adam Schiff: When corporations and the wealthy want tax cuts, or when there's a vacancy on the Supre

Adam Schiff
@RepAdamSchiff
When corporations and the wealthy want tax cuts, or when there's a vacancy on the Supreme Court, Senate Republicans move at the speed of light.

But when American families are in dire need of help, they ask, what’s the rush?

COVID relief is needed. Urgently. It’s time to act.

those tax cuts will continually keep adding to our debt year after year. The tax cuts for the poor and middle class expire, yet I listen to cable news anchors spout the propaganda that Democrats lost the working class vote because they ignored them.

a wonderful incentive to get serious about the virus. Instead the stimulus that was passed was ripe with fraud and waste by the wealthy/connected.
