Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., says funding for a Democrat-favored $1.75 trillion social spending and climate bill falls right on the shoulders of the middle class.
In an interview with radio host John Catsimatidis’ on Sunday’s “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM-N.Y. Johnson derided the Build Back Better package as “their giveaway programs.”
Lawmakers approved the legislation 220-213 on Friday as every Democrat but one backed it, overcoming unanimous Republican opposition. The measure now heads to the Senate, where changes are certain and disputes between Democratic moderates and progressives are expected.
“The only place Democrats can get the money to fund all of their giveaway programs is from the middle class, because that's where the money is,” Johnson told Catsimatidis, The Hill reported, which posted remarks ahead of the show’s airing.
Corporations, he said, “don't really bear the brunt of the tax increase.”-- excerpt, rest at link above --
