“Sen. Johnson is rehashing the same failed trickle-down economics that have hollowed out America’s middle class for well over four decades. We are in a crisis and Wisconsinites need relief right now.

During this pandemic, billionaires have added $1 trillion to their wealth while millions of people have been plunged into poverty. Wisconsin’s 8 billionaires were not in crisis when Sen. Johnson voted to give them a massive tax cut, but now, when many of the rest of his constituents are struggling, he is full of excuses. In Johnson’s home state, there are nearly 120,000 people who are receiving unemployment assistance and 360,000 households facing food insecurity. They can’t wait for some mythical floodgates to open so billionaire wealth “trickles down,” they need relief now.”
