Sen. Chris Van Hollen Wants to Cut Taxes for 130M Working Americans

Today, we talk with Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen about the Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act

Millions of Americans are facing a cost of living crisis. How Democrats (particularly those in the Senate) address that crisis is existential to the party’s success in the midterms, 2028 and beyond.

Another challenge Dems face is getting that message out to voters, particularly when the media is consumed with a war, the Epstein files, and whatever lies-du-jour Trump spins up.

It’s why we sit down again with Senator Chris Van Hollen to talk about a bill he introduced which will lower the tax burden on 130M middle-class households.

Policy like this is hard to explain and digest, particularly when it’s about America’s increasingly complex tax code. This is a surgical bill, the very kind that doesn’t garner the kinds of headlines illegal wars do. But it would raise upwards of $1.46 trillion over ten years by nominally increasing the taxes of only 615,000 tax filers who make millions of dollars/year in income.

The news ecosystem is increasingly controlled by a small group of elitist billionaires who want to force AI and a bunch of other garbage down our throats.

We’re different.

We know there’s a huge audience for the work we do here: Breaking down complex issues (say, like tweaking the tax code) in simple and plain language.

The other difference: We’re clearly not billionaires and we don’t have a daddy who’s one of the richest people on earth. I mean, if anyone wants to buy us the largest movie studio with the largest news ecosystem in the country, that’d be cool.

In the meantime, we could use some help.
