The GOP’s #ReverseRobinHood Bill is a Disaster for Students #ABlueView The House bill has $20B for a national voucher program to subsidize private & religious schools. Public money, zero oversight. Defunding public education masked as choice!

Republicans Are Unashamedly Taking From the Poor to Give to the Rich #ABlueView🧵1/3 "The bill has $1.1T in tax cuts for people who make > $500k a year. And it has $1.1T in cuts to Medicaid & food stamps. We are going to drive 13M..." #ReverseRobinHood #EvangelicalHypocrisy

🧵2/3 Republicans Are Literally Taking From the Poor to Give to the Rich "...off health insurance. We are going to end $300 billion of spending that gives food to hungry people. And that is going to pay for... roughly a quarter of tax...

🧵3/3 Republicans Are Literally Taking From the Poor to Give to the Rich & Maga is Inanely Ok With it. ...cuts [that] go to the top 1%. That’s the fundamental math of this bill."

Opinion | Trump’s Big Budget Bomb

We are all in the blast radius of Trump’s tax-cut bill, which Catherine Rampell calls ‘transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich, from the young to the old and from the future to the past.’

The Republican Jesus #ABlueView It is especially pronounced in their #ReverseRobinHood budget bill. The last 3 cartoons depict what I think Jesus would actually do in response.

Trump’s Reverse Robin Hood

Trump has decided to freeze federal worker pay, citing 'serious economic conditions.' Trump says he is freezing federal workers pay next year, because the nation cannot afford the 2.1% raises that would have gone into effect without presidential action.

So, even though Trump brags about a great economy AND he gave away nearly 90% of a $2T give-away to the top 1% of the population and corporations, he NOW says the nation cannot afford the 2.1% raise to federal workers because of the 'serious economic conditions.'

I don’t think this is what his voters thought they were getting, a reverse Robin Hood.
