Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement after Republicans released the tax portion of their ‘Wrong Way’ agenda:

“Once again, Republicans are planning to hand massive tax giveaways to millionaires and billionaires on the backs of hard-working American families.

“Republicans’ Wrong Way tax agenda would ransack our investments in jobs, infrastructure, education and the future of our nation. It would explode the deficit and undermine our efforts to build an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy and well connected.

“We should be subjecting our tax expenditures to harsh scrutiny, keeping those that promote growth and strengthen the middle class, and ending those special interest handouts that do nothing but increase the deficit. Republicans’ Wrong Way agenda only takes us further from restoring fairness to our tax code.”
