Issue Position: Repealing Tax Cuts for the Rich

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Taxes

Part of the Trump agenda was slashing taxes for the rich. But here in Rhode Island, we've done the same thing. In 2006, Rhode Island passed one of the biggest tax cuts for the rich in American history. Only one red state--North Dakota--has ever cut income taxes for the rich by more than Rhode Island. In North Dakota, they had oil money to balance the budget. Here in Rhode Island, we've dealt with budget crisis after budget crisis ever since those tax cuts for the rich.

That is why Sam believes we must repeal the tax cuts for the rich to fund programs that help working families.
