Your recent email via "Corporate Employee Communications" regarding the current GOP tax bill was interesting. You are very concerned about a provision changing some aspects of stock sales. So concerned, actually, that you are urging us all to "lend your voice to this effort." Stock sales. Out of all the changes this proposed bill would bring about, this is the one that riles you to the point of calling for action.
Shame on you, Mr. Abney.
This bill cuts taxes for US corporations which are enjoying record profits and valuations and for individuals which are wealthier than ever. It does so on the backs of the middle class, raising their taxes, and eliminating many of the tax relieve provisions specifically enacted for their benefit, including a wide variety of service cuts to help pay for the wealthy tax cuts. Medicaid, Social Security, Medicare and Children's Health Insurance will all be cut.
It is so controversial that the US Senate is forced to ramrod it through in a secretive, sloppy and haphazard manner.
The morality of this bill alone is shameful. Among the things being eliminated are tuition tax credits (again, a huge benefit to the middle class), and medical expense deductions which impact senior citizens and low income individuals.
The tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans will increase our bloated deficit by $1 trillion dollars or more.
These highlights are merely the tip of the iceberg on this disastrous and unfair tax bill. And out of it all, Mr. Abney, you choose to speak out on a provision changing stock sales for the retired millionaires of UPS.
I repeat, shame on you, Mr. Abney
