They
robbed us
While families struggle, billionaires are cashing in.
Congress has been working for them, not for you.
The largest transfer of wealth from everyday people to billionaires happened in July 2025,
when Congress passed the Big, Ugly Bill.
What They Took
From Us
This wasn’t about
the government spending
unnecessary money.
It wasn’t about fraud.
It definitely was not
about lowering
costs for families.
It was about robbing us — to enrich them.
10 million people will lose life-saving health care, and states are already cutting home- and community-based services for people with disabilities and older adults.1
3 million people, including children, seniors, veterans, and individuals with disabilities, have already lost food assistance as of January 2026—and that number will only keep rising.4
2.6 million child citizens in immigrant families are newly excluded from the Child Tax Credit.7
23 health centers operated by Planned Parenthood have already been forced to close as of March 2026, leaving thousands of people with nowhere to go for essential health care, including cancer screening, STI testing, and contraception.10
Millions of current loan borrowers will be forced to move to more expensive repayment plans, increasing their student loans by more than $3,400 a year.13
Who Wins
The Billionaire Class
All so they can buy
another super yacht?
The tax breaks in the Big, Ugly Bill overwhelmingly benefit the
top 1% — while raising costs for the bottom 20%.16
Families lose –
and those with the lowest incomes lose the most.
These families will lose an average of $1,200 every year until 2034. That’s about a month of groceries for a family of four.17
The wealthy gain –
and the wealthiest gain the most.
They will gain an average of $13,600 every year until 2034. That’s enough for a new diamond ring each year.18

Empowering ICE to terrorize families
ICE’s budget tripled under the Big, Ugly Bill20
This rogue agency now has even more money to kidnap people off the streets,
terrorize families and children, kill community members, and
leave people in custody, where they are dying in unprecedented numbers.
This funding for ICE is paid for off the backs of families, all while women and families struggle to afford health care and groceries.

What We
Could Have
Instead
We could invest in us
If we made the wealthy pay their fair
share, we could fund what really matters.
Investment
in people
When we tax the top more fairly, we can restore the health care,
food assistance, and education funding they stole,
and make more investments that help families thrive.
