Billionaires Desperately Need Our Help!
Maybe that’s why congressional Republicans haven’t bothered to renew funding for CHIP,
the child health insurance program serving almost nine million American kids.
For example, eliminating the estate tax would help the roughly 5,500 Americans who now
owe this tax each year, one-fifth of 1 percent of all Americans who die annually.
For example, the top 1 percent receive only a bit more than 25 percent of the total tax
cuts in the Senate bill, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.
Our political leaders are so understanding because we appear to have the wealthiest Congress we’ve ever had, with a majority of members
now millionaires, so they understand the importance of cutting health insurance for the poor to show support for the crème de la crème.
The Congressional Budget Office says this will result in 13 million fewer people having health insurance.
If poor kids have to suffer, we may as well make poor seniors suffer as well.
