The Rev. William Barber: Republican tax plan is an ‘act of violence’ against the poor

by David Williams | Dec 7, 2017 | Economy, Poor People Campaign, Rev. Dr. Barber, Tax Reform

As Republicans move closer to passing a tax bill that would be disastrous for most Americans, it becomes abundantly clear (as if it weren’t already) that the party does not care about anyone but the rich. This bill, which will increase the deficit by $1 trillion and cause the poor and working class to be worse off, will also cause health insurance premiums to rise—meaning 13 million Americans could lose their health care coverage by 2027. It is, in a word, abhorrent. It is also an act of violence, according to the Rev. William Barber and the Rev. Liz Theoharis.
