Statement from Mayor de Blasio on the G.O.P. Tax Plan

December 20, 2017

“The tax bill passed by Congress was written by millionaires for millionaires, while everyone else suffers. That is class warfare. It’s going to hurt working families and seniors. It’s going to hurt cities and towns – not just on the coasts – but everywhere across our country. 

“After President Trump signs this assault on working Americans into law, we’ll lead the fight to prevent the cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security the Republicans have told us are coming next as they relentlessly take from the rest of us to give to the wealthy. But we will also vigorously remind the people just who made it harder for them to make ends meet.”
