KENOSHA, Wis. – Opportunity Wisconsin highlighted Rep. Bryan Steil’s support for new tax breaks for the ultra-rich and big corporations over the weekend as a new mobile billboard visited St. Patrick’s Day parades in Racine and Kenosha.
Steil supported the 2017 Trump Tax plan, which disproportionately benefited those at the top, while working families and seniors saw little relief. Now, Steil and Republicans in Congress are pushing for even more tax breaks, again aimed at letting those at the very top avoid paying their fair share. Opportunity Wisconsin’s new billboard reminds Steil’s constituents that he wants to “give pots of gold to the wealthy” and encourages them to call on him to “stop Dublin down on more tax cuts for the rich.”
“Congressman Steil wants to to double down on economic policies that help those at the top, including billionaires and big corporations, avoid paying their fair share – all while pushing for cuts to programs like Medicaid, nutrition assistance, and more to pay for these new tax breaks,” said Opportunity Wisconsin Program Director Meghan Roh. “Working families and seniors shouldn’t have to count on luck to succeed, they should have a member of Congress who will fight for them. Congressman Steil needs to stop fighting for a pot of gold for the wealthy, and start working for his constituents instead.”
