#TaxScam
This
week
the
Republican
Congress
shamelessly
cheered
raising
taxes
on
millions
of
middle
class
families,
in
a
brazen,
all-out
assault
on
the
futures
of
hard-working
Americans,
just
to
benefit
the
wealthy
and
well-connected.

Congresswoman
Pelosi
and
Senator
Schumer
held
a
press
conference
immediately
following
the
passage
of
this
Tax
Scam
to
discuss
the
impacts
it
will
have
on
middle
class
families.
According
to
non-partisan
analysis
published
by
the
Tax
Policy
Center,
the
final
bill
passed
this
week
will
raise
taxes
on
86
million
middle
class
households
and
hand
83
percent
of
the
benefits
to
the
wealthiest
one
percent.
By
the
end,
more
than
half
of
all
American
households
will
pay
higher
taxes
under
this
tax
scam.
Those
who
voted
for
this
tax
increase
for
middle
class
families
voted
to
let
the
wealthiest
one
percent
steal
the
future
of
the
middle
class
in
America.
This
bill
will
go
down
as
one
of
the
most
scandalous,
obscene
acts
of
plutocracy
ever.
In
the
case
of
California,
a
dozen California
House
Republicans joined
their
colleagues
to
pass
this
tax
scam,
perpetrating
a
monumental
theft
from
hard-working
Californians.
This
tax
scam
will
have
particularly
devastating
consequences
for
middle
class
families
in
our
state,
and
Californians
will
not
forget
the
Members
who
pushed
this
monstrous
bill
over
the
finish
line.
Democrats
remain
committed
to
fighting
for
America’s
hard
working
families
and
offering
the
American
people
a
better
deal.
Happy
Holidays
The
Holiday
Season
offers
a
special
opportunity
to
reflect
on
the
miraculous
blessings
of
family,
community
and
Country.
As
we
celebrate
in
the
company
of
our
loved
ones,
I
want
to
express
my
continued
and
profound
gratitude
for
the
honor
of
representing
you
in
the
Congress.
Please
accept
my
best
wishes
for
a
happy
holiday
and
Happy
New
Year
to
you
and
your
family.
My
office
recently
assisted
a
constituent
who
has
not
received
rent
payments
owed
to
him
from
the
San
Francisco
Housing
Authority
(SFHA).
He
had
contacted
our
office
because
he
had
not
been
receiving
the
SFHA
rent
contribution
for
two
of
his
tenants
that
receive
a
Section
8
Housing
Voucher.
Therefore,
my
staff
contacted
SFHA
on
his
behalf
and
conveyed
the
details
of
his
situation.
As
a
result,
SFHA
issued
retroactive
payments
for
the
owed
rent
contribution.
He
is
now
fully
reimbursed
from
SFHA.
