The Billion Dollar Backers Behind the Trump Tax Scam

On the Fourth of July, under the guise of patriotism and a claimed commitment to “America First” policies, President Donald Trump signed a bill on the White House South Lawn that rips health care away from millions of workers and families while handing massive tax breaks to his corporate donors and friends. What was promised as a celebration of freedom turned out to be one of the biggest betrayals of the American people in modern memory.

So why did he do it? Why would a president choose Independence Day, a moment meant to honor American ideals, to attack working families and reward billionaires? The answer isn’t that these are policies that Americans want – in fact, we know they are actually incredibly unpopular.

The answer is as simple as it is disturbing: their own money and power.

This bill didn’t materialize out of nowhere – it was bought and paid for. In the months leading up to the vote, campaign filings show that Big Oil, Big Pharma, Wall Street, and Big Tech poured millions of dollars into congressional Republican coffers. In return, they got what they wanted: tax breaks, less oversight and accountability, at the expense of massive cuts to the safety net that millions of Americans rely on.
