Democrats in the House of Representatives had an alternative proposal to the Tax Reconciliation Act which would have increased taxes on those earning more than $500,000 per year. Chris Chocola, the Representative in Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District voted to go ahead and give this big tax break to the wealthy which will most certainly raise the federal deficit. This is just one more vote against the working people of our country.
Chocola also voted to lift tariffs on most goods traded between the United States and Bahrain. The bill did not include any environmental and worker protection clauses.
Chris Chocola is not helping American workers when he votes this way. Maybe the Senate will display more sense.
