NEW CAMPAIGN: Unrig Our Economy Launches New Ads in 8-figure Campaign Calling on GOP Reps to Oppose Billionaire Tax Breaks
Washington, D.C. — Today, Unrig Our Economy is launching an eight-figure campaign highlighting congressional Republicans’ plans to give more tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires. The campaign is kicking off with TV ads in New York and Nebraska, calling out Rep. Mike Lawler (NY-17) and Rep. Don Bacon (NE-02) for their support of this Republican giveaway to the mega-rich that will come at the expense of working-class Americans. These ads come as House Republicans continue attempts to corral their divided caucus around a plan to give new tax breaks to the rich, which could be shared in the coming days.
If passed, the Trump Tax Scam would give massive new tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, but working people could end up paying higher costs—such as for housing, health care, or education. Republicans in Congress have made it clear that they’re willing to make working families across the country foot the bill for tax breaks for billionaires with onerous tariffs that would raise prices on everyday goods and cuts to federal funding for essential services, such as health care and food assistance, that benefit everyday people.
This campaign will run on TV, digital, and streaming services in Nebraska and New York.
SCRIPT:
Remind me, who was front and center at the inauguration?
Oh right, billionaires
The people Congressman Don Bacon’s been working for
While regular people right here in Nebraska keep paying more and more
Don Bacon voted to give huge tax breaks to rich people and big corporations
Now, he’s trying to do it again.
And we’re the ones who will foot that bill.
Tell Congressman Don Bacon
nurses, bus drivers, small business owners…
are the ones who deserve a break.
Not out-of-state billionaires.
SCRIPT:
New Yorkers are struggling just to get by…
And Congressman Mike Lawler could make it even harder.
Mike Lawler is pushing another huge tax break for these guys…
paid for with higher taxes on middle-class families.
Mike Lawler’s plan would give billionaires and big
corporations trillions of dollars…
While the rest of us pay more.
Tell Mike Lawler: Don’t cut taxes for billionaires
and make the middle class pay for it.
