Republicans voted against Infation Reduction Act after taking tens of millions from corporate special interests
Today, Republicans sold out American workers and families in order to curry favor with their corporate special interest backers. After taking tens of millions from Big Pharma, Big Oil and other corporate special interests, Republicans voted against the Inflation Reduction Act.
The bill:
- Lowers prescription drug and health care costs by allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices and extending Affordable Care Act benefits to millions of Americans.
- Forces Billionaires and Big Corporations to Pay What they Owe by closing tax loopholes, ensuring big corporations pay taxes at a minimum what small businesses do and strengthening IRS enforcement so billionaires and corporations can’t cheat on their taxes.
- Makes Historic Investment in Energy and American Manufacturing by supporting domestic clean energy development that will reduce carbon emissions, while creating millions of manufacturing jobs.
- Reduces the Deficit by billions of dollars.
“Republicans are so caught up in doing the bidding of corporate special interests, that they’re willing to sink the American economy and workers,” said End Citizens United // Let America Vote President Tiffany Muller.“There is no clearer contrast — Democrats are fighting for the American people, while Republicans have become extremists who side only with corporate and partisan special interests.”
