Speaker Johnson Admits: Republicans’ Billionaire Tax Breaks Are Outrageously Expensive And Working People Will Pay The Price
Washington, D.C. — Today, Speaker Mike Johnson went on Fox & Friends and said the quiet part out loud: Republicans are determined to extend their tax breaks for billionaires and millionaires and make working people foot the bill. From imposing high tariffs on everyday items to cutting funding for popular programs to threatening to blow up the deficit, Speaker Johnson and Republicans have made it clear that there is nothing they won’t do and no one they won’t hurt to further enrich millionaires and billionaires.
“This outrageous admission by Speaker Johnson confirms what we already knew – Congressional Republicans’ top priority is enriching the wealthy on the backs of working families,” said Unrig Our Economy Spokesperson Kobie Christian. “Even as Americans continue to face higher prices nationwide, Republicans insist on further increasing costs for regular people by imposing tariffs on everyday items and cutting federal funding for essential programs such as health care and child care to pay for billionaires’ tax breaks. It goes to show that Speaker Johnson and Republicans are determined to keep putting the mega-rich first and the American people last.”
