Tax Breaks for Billionaires Hurts 99.9% of Americans

The new tax breaks for billionaires are special reductions in taxes for the ultra-wealthy – people and corporations who already have more money than most Americans. These can include:

• Lower tax rates on capital gains (investment income)
• Loopholes that let them avoid paying their fair share
• Corporate tax cuts that mostly benefit top executives and shareholders

💸 Where Does That Money Come From?
The government runs on tax revenue – that’s how we fund Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, public schools, food programs for kids, and care for seniors.
When billionaires pay less in taxes, that missing money doesn’t just vanish – it has to be made up somewhere. And here’s how that usually happens:

1. Cuts to Social Security – Less funding puts retirement and disability payments at risk.
2. Cuts to Medicare and Medicaid – Making it harder for seniors, low-income families, and people with disabilities to afford healthcare.
3. Cuts to programs for kids and families – Like Head Start, school lunches, and child care assistance.
4. Cuts to community programs – Including meals on wheels, housing aid, and senior centers.

In short, tax breaks for billionaires mean fewer resources for everyone else.

👎 Why This Hurts You

• You may work your whole life and struggle to retire – while billionaires get richer by paying less.
• Your parents or grandparents may face reduced Medicare benefits.
• Your kids’ schools and after-school programs may lose funding.
• Your community might lose essential support for the most vulnerable.

🗣️ What You Can Do About It
Contact your senators and congressional representatives – tell them you do not support tax breaks for billionaires, especially if it comes at the cost of programs that protect our families, kids, and elders.

Remind them: You vote. And if they vote to give handouts to the wealthy while cutting support for everyday Americans, you’ll remember that at the next election.

The Truth isn’t partisan—it’s survival.
