Talking Points
Six years ago, Donald Trump passed his disastrous tax scam that rigged the economy for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations at the expense of the middle class.
His trickle-down policies failed Coloradans: His deeply unpopular tax scam lined the pockets of the ultra-rich, created incentives for corporations to ship American jobs overseas, hurt main-street businesses, and blew up the deficit all while leaving working Coloradans and Colorado's middle-class families to pay the price of his failed trickle-down policies.
While Trump may have been the architect of this disastrous policy, every 2024 Republican presidential candidate has given it their stamp of approval.
Ron DeSantis voted for Trump’s 2017 tax scam and has proposed extending it if elected president.
Chris Christie praised the tax scam and said he would extend it if elected.
Nikki Haley said the tax scam benefitted working families and wants to make permanent giveaways to the ultra-wealthy if elected.
Vivek Ramaswamy said he would go even further, vowing to make Trump’s tax scam permanent and expand it.
On the campaign trail, Trump and MAGA Republicans are doubling down and running on an even more extreme plan – MAGAnomics – that will harm Colorado's economy by cutting taxes even further for the wealthy and big corporations, cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and raising costs for families by gutting investments in the middle class.
The contrast between MAGAnomics and Bidenomics couldn’t be more clear. Since day one, President Biden has prioritized growing the economy from the bottom up and middle out, empowering workers, and lowering costs for Colorado families – and he’s delivering.
