(Above picture from 2010 when Democrats voted for the largest tax increase in US history – Obamacare.)

Democrats are at it again.  On November 16, 2017, the US House voted on the tax cut and jobs act.

227 Republicans voted for tax cuts for working Americans.
0 Democrats voted for tax cuts for working Americans.

On December 2, 2017, the US Senate voted 51 – 49 for the tax cut and jobs act.
51 Republicans voted for tax cuts for working Americans.
0 Democrats voted for tax cuts for working Americans.

On December 4, 2017, the US House voted to send the Tax Cut to conference.

222 Republicans voted for the tax cuts for working Americans.
0 Democrats voted for the tax cuts for working Americans.

In total, over the past two and a half weeks, the US Congress voted for tax cuts for US citizens three times.

Every one of these votes was needed in order to lower taxes for hard working Americans!

Republicans have garnered 500 votes for tax breaks for Americans while Democrats have not raised one single vote for tax cuts for Americans. 

On the other hand, Democrats have unanimously voted for tax increases by 425 votes.

President Trump is correct when he says Democrats only want to raise taxes.  They prove it with their votes!
