Dear Activists,
I can’t decide which part of the GOP tax plan is crazier: the tax cut for private jets or the one for golf course owners? It might be a draw. Honestly, I’m not sure there’s a feature of this plan that isn’t completely ludicrous. Big thanks to all the volunteers and community leaders who hit the streets this week. Let’s keep the pressure on and make sure that working people don’t end up footing the bill for the jet-setting lifestyles of the billionaire class.
