Tax March Statement on President Trump’s Supreme Court Nominee

“President Trump and Senate Republicans are once again upending Senate precedent to jam through another right-wing Supreme Court nominee. This is a hypocritical and nakedly partisan power grab that once again proves where Trump and McConnell’s priorities lie – with the wealth and big corporations."

Tax March Statement on the Passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“We are heartbroken to learn of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing this evening. Justice Ginsberg was a courageous fighter for middle and working class Americans, and a tireless advocate for equal protection under the law. Her contributions to our nation are unparalleled, and women like her have inspired the spirit that we bring to Tax March: one of tenacity, courage and a commitment to justice. She is already dearly missed."

McConnell’s ‘Skinny Relief’ Bill Rightfully Flops in the Senate

"Look around: the American people don’t need Congress to protect corporate interests and issue tax credits for private school tuition. We need money in our pockets, we need robust and ongoing unemployment benefits for nearly 30 million unemployed Americans, and we need to bail out the small businesses that are the fabric of our communities. We don’t need skinny relief."

Senate Republicans Head Home Without Passing COVID Relief Package, Leaving Millions of Americans Behind

“What have Republicans delivered for the millions of Americans in need of direct aid right now? A smattering of do-nothing presidential memoranda from the do-nothing president, one of which just shifts the responsibility of extending unemployment assistance to state governments — the same state governments roiled in budget crises Trump refuses to remedy. Instead of delivering real aid to struggling families, Trump and his friends in the Senate wrote down a whole bunch of nothing on a stack of paper and set sail for the summer."

Trump’s Payroll Tax Executive Memorandum is a Holiday for the Wealthy and a Death Sentence for Social Security and Medicare Beneficiaries

“Trump’s payroll tax holiday is a lose-lose strategy. First, it won’t deliver any relief to struggling small businesses or laid-off workers, but it will dangerously diminish funding for Social Security and Medicare at a time when millions of people depend on these programs."

The American People, Not Corporations, Need a Bailout — Sanders’ Make Billionaires Pay Act Does Exactly That

"Today’s dismal jobs numbers are proof that Trump and McConnell care more about throwing money at corporations and wealthy individuals than giving any help to struggling American families,” said Tax March Executive Director Maura Quint. “Enough playing political hot potato with our lives. We’re tired of watching the rich get richer while millions of us remain unemployed without a lifeline. We’re tired of being faced with the impossible choice between saving our jobs or saving our own lives. That’s why Tax March is endorsing the Make Billionaires Pay Act — it’s time to tax the wealth that billionaires’ have hoarded while we’ve been struggling."

Senate Republicans Want to Take Your Paycheck

“For two months, Senate Republicans have stalled and stared at their feet as hundreds of thousands of Americans have died and millions, every single week, lose their jobs,” said Tax March Executive Director Maura Quint. “Now, Republicans are seriously proposing to cut millions of Americans’ income when 1.4 million filed for unemployment just last week. Working families are in a dire situation, but Republicans are dead-set on depriving them of financial relief and health care. The American people need Democrats to demand a complete overhaul of this Senate bill. To support this hateful bill is to turn your back on working- and middle-class families.”
