Republican Tax Bill an Attack on Working People
AFL-CIO ^ | December 2, 2017 | AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka

Posted on 12/02/2017 3:18:25 PM PST by mdittmar

Statement by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka in response to the Republican tax bill passing the Senate:

The GOP tax bill that passed the Senate by one vote is nothing but an attack on America’s workers. We will pay more, corporations and billionaires will pay less. It’s a job killer. It gives billions of tax giveaways to big corporations that outsource jobs and profits.

President Trump said that he wanted to lower taxes for everyone as a Christmas gift to America, but this bill is simply a lump of coal to working families across the country. The only real gift is the major tax giveaways to Wall Street, big corporations and the super-rich, when what our country needs is investment in our schools and infrastructures that creates jobs.

Any guesses on how much Trumpka makes (salary & perks) a year and the median hourly wage of his rank and file?

My guesses are $800K a year and $19.75/hr.

Sorry, my “working class” kids are going to make out very well with this bill.

I have to wonder, when in nether hell did America become a class system.

Been to Britain, hate the inability to move up. Glad I am an America, but when did nobility rear its ugly head.
