Tag: Mark DeSaulnier

Representative Mark DeSaulnier voted no on a bill beneficial to all Californians, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. He not only opposed this bill, but deliberately misrepresented it to his constituents. Ninety-five percent of taxpayers will benefit, including those in high tax states impacted more by deduction limits. Offsetting deduction limits, taxes at every level are reduced, the standard deduction is doubled and everyone will enjoy a lower marginal tax bracket making each dollar earned worth more. The AMT has been permanently fixed so that it impacts only the wealthiest as it was originally intended. Long overdue changes to corporate taxes will make companies globally competitive and invigorate our economy. We need an honest representative who will reject petty partisan politics. That person is clearly not Mark DeSaulnier. I respectfully ask DeSaulnier to resign so that we can be elect someone who will put our interests first.
