NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TAX CUTS
(Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, my friend, Mr. Wilson, made some remarks
about how everybody benefited from the big, beautiful bill.
What he didn't tell you is that President Trump made a deal with
himself when he sued the IRS for $1 billion for releasing his tax
returns, along with thousands and thousands of other Americans. He
settled the case with himself and the man he wants to make Attorney
General with a clause, an agreement, that the IRS would not prosecute
or even look at his tax returns, his family's tax returns, or any
businesses they are involved with.
That means that the $2.2 billion they made this year off of crypto
and other questionable companies will be tax free. That means he is
stealing from you and me, the American public.
He doesn't want to spend money on his failed war in Iran or his
failure with ICE, who are killing Americans every day.
Our country is in trouble. We have a man who is out of control as our
President. It scares me tremendously, and it should scare you, as well.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from
engaging in personalities toward the President.
