$250 for saving 500?
That's a "tax break" right?
If someone ONLY saved $500 their
not paying any Federal income taxes.
Correct me if this is inaccurate.

Is this the BOLD ideas Schumer was seeking?

Where's the "equal pay" plan?
Why not make republicans go on the record rejecting equal pay?

This awful plan plays into EVERY right-wing narrative against Democrats!
The "Action Plan" makes Democrats look like they are waging CLASS WAR.
Democrats are taxing the rich and giving to the "takers".
That Democats want to "punish success"... Fox Nooz will tear this up!


Yet another feckless example from weak democrats.
Pelosi needs to go. We need REAL leadership.

This "Action Plan" is pure crap.
It does NOT address real economic disparities.
It's rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
