WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-21) issued the following statement after voting against the Republican tax scam, which gives tax cuts to the rich and big corporations, paid for by tax hikes on middle-class families:

“The Republicans’ tax scam robs the middle-class to give huge tax cuts to corporations and the super wealthy. This Robin Hood in reverse plan raises taxes on 36 million households, and explodes our deficit, leaving our children to pay the bill. It could trigger an automatic $25 BILLION cut to Medicare next year alone which would leave seniors without the health care they have earned. Democrats have a Better Deal, one that invests in the future and lowers essential costs like prescription drugs and family care.”
