Tlaib: Let’s Take Money from Rich, Give It ‘Back to the People that Earned It’Breitbart, Jul 22, 2019
Far-left “Squad†member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) spoke at the NAACP convention over the weekend and railed against the GOP tax cuts in a pitch for her anti-poverty BOOST Act, promising to take money from the rich and give it “back to the people that earned it.â€
Tlaib introduced her anti-poverty legislation – the Building Our Opportunities to Survive and Thrive (BOOST) Act – last month and spoke about it at the NAACP convention over the weekend. The proposal offers a guaranteed income – up to $6,000 per year – to families and individuals under certain financial thresholds via a “refundable tax credit that can be paid monthly.â€
The Michigan lawmaker’s BOOST Act serves as her response to what she calls the “GOP Tax Scam,†despite the fact that two-thirds of Americans will pay less in taxes in 2018, thanks to the tax cuts.
“Recently, I introduced the Boost Act. This legislation completely repeals the GOP Tax Scam that is only helping wealthy individuals – the rich, the corporations,†she told the crowd.
