Chapter 1: What is the GOP tax bill scam exposed by Democrats?
So Donald Trump's one big, beautiful bill that they're trying to ram through Congress was exposed today in perfect form as one big, beautiful, massive scam as Democratic members of Congress, led by Democratic Congress member Tom Swasey,
pointed out that all of donald trump's promises when you actually read the bill it turns out they are scams so let me show you what congress member swazi was asking uh an individual who's part of the kind of non-partisan uh tax group that like ranks these pieces of legislation here take a look at this okay on tips the president said your tips will be 100 yours
Does this tax bill continue the payroll tax on people's tips? Yes, it does. Overtime. The president said your overtime will be tax-free. Does this bill continue the payroll tax on overtime?
It does not exempt overtime from the payroll tax.
The president said he's going to remove taxes on Social Security. Does this bill remove taxes on Social Security benefits?
The legislation provides an increased exemption amount for... But does it remove taxes on Social Security benefits as promised by the president? It does not change Social Security.
The president and the Republicans.
That's how it's done right there. Let's also show you Democratic Congress member Doggett. Here's what he points out. Let's play it.
Mr. Barthold, that this legislation fails to extend the enhanced tax credits that lower the cost of insurance for millions of Americans who purchase their own coverage through the marketplace. That's correct. And when the Republicans permit these credits to expire in a mere seven months. What is the effect on health insurance premiums for those individuals that rely on the marketplace today?

Chapter 2: How does the tax bill affect payroll taxes on tips and overtime?
Is this going to get passed, though, or is this going to get this? I mean, I've heard senators say that they're not. What's going to happen?
What do you think that you're going to have a fight in the House first over the next week? about whether to increase the state and local tax deduction or not. And people are going to try and get it increased. And there's going to be a bunch of other moderate Republicans who are saying, you're cutting Medicaid too much. You're cutting Medicaid too much.
Too many people in my district are going to suffer because of this. Then it's going to go over to the Senate where there's going to be even more pressure on the cuts to Medicaid that they're not going to want to cut Medicaid. So a lot of these Republicans may be walking the plank in the House only to have the Senate try and change it later on. Or
They're all going to walk in single file and do what the president asked them to do when he calls them up and says, hey, you got to do this.
Well, great questioning today. And please come back and let's talk about what's happening. Keep our audience updated.
