Under Reagan's tax cuts, the average tax cut for the top 1% was 68x larger than the average cut for middle-class households.
Under Bush's tax cuts, it was 16x larger.
And under Trump, 36x larger.

The Congressional Switchboard: 202-224-3121. Call and then text some friends so they'll call, too.
Every Republican member of Congress—House AND Senate—will have to decide whether to vote for the bill to gut health care and hand trillions to the super-rich. This bill is intensely unpopular.
