The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

Reality Check: Right now Republicans are trying to pass a budget that includes 4.5 trillion in handouts to the ultra-rich. It's an average annual tax cut of $314,266 for the top 0.1%. Translation: they are blowing up the debt and deficit to help their billionaire donors.
