Warren Leads Vote Series to Oppose Tax Cuts for Ultra-Wealthy

Washington, D.C. – As part of tonight’s vote-a-rama on Senate Republicans’ budget resolution, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) kicked off a series of votes on Democratic amendments opposing tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. 

Senator Warren introduced the first amendment in the vote series, Amendment #734 to oppose tax cuts for Americans making over $10 million annually.

Amendments from Senators Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) opposing tax cuts for Americans making over $100 million annually and Angus King (I-Maine) opposing tax cuts for Americans making over $500 million annually followed.

Ahead of the vote, Senator Warren delivered the following remarks on the Senate floor:

“As we begin the budget process, Democrats are asking Republicans questions about the basic principles of what they are planning to do.

The first question is whether there is anyone who is so rich that the Republicans think they don’t need a tax giveaway.

My amendment says anyone who earns more than $10 million a year won’t get a tax cut in the new Republican budget. And I want to know if Republicans will agree to that. 

I urge everyone—Democrat or Republican—to say yes.”
