Demonstration at Toomey's office

The tax giveaway to the rich had already passed when I arrived at Sen. Toomey’s Allentown office today, so it seemed kind of pointless to hold signs related to the vote on the bill.  Most of the people brought generic signs like “Make America Great Again–Impeach Trump.”

My sign said “Trump:  Is the Audit Over Yet?  Show Us Your Taxes.”  

I was referring, of course, to Trump’s statement during the campaign that he couldn’t release his tax returns because they were being audited.  He still has not done so, but we know he will make millions due to provisions in the bill.  


And here is “framing” advice.  When you talk about this bill with your friends and neighbors, never call it a “reform.”  It is not a reform.  It is a giveaway to the rich and powerful.  Call it the “tax cut for the rich.”  That is exactly what it is.
