    PATRIOTIC MILLIONAIRES RELEASE STATEMENT ON PRES. TRUMP’S PROPOSED TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY

    Would only further add to our already egregious levels of economic inequality

     

    Washington, DC – Tonight, President Trump gave his first address to the Joint Session of Congress. He included proposed tax cuts in his proposals – attempting to further the fallacy that tax cuts grow and sustain our economy. Chair of the Patriotic Millionaires Morris Pearl has released this statement in response to this abhorrent plan:

     

    “In an economy that is 70% consumer driven, the last thing we need to do to grow and sustain our economy is give millionaires yet another tax cut. The exhausted policies of “trickle-down economics” have failed spectacularly. President Trump needs to rethink his goals – rather than offer these faulty tax cuts to our nation’s wealthiest, he should instead commit to a $15 minimum wage. Business owners and investors need consumers with more disposable income. President Trump should work to improve the lives and wallets of the lower and middle class because that is how we all prosper. ” said Chair of the Patriotic Millionaires Morris Pearl, former managing director at Blackrock.
