16 Million Lose Healthcare, Billionaires Win: What's in the GOP Tax Plan? - Liberal Lens
Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV) just put Trump’s top tax official on the spot — and what followed was a masterclass in deflection.
In this explosive House hearing, Horsford demands answers about the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” — a GOP-backed tax proposal that would strip healthcare from 16 million Americans, gut rural hospitals, and raise housing costs, all while showering billionaires with tax breaks.
But when Horsford asks the one question that cuts through all the spin — “Do YOU personally benefit from this bill?” — the official won’t answer. Not yes. Not no. Just evasion. And that silence says everything.
This isn’t just politics — it’s about who the system is built to serve, and who’s left to pay the price.
🔍 We break down:
Who really benefits under this bill (hint: it’s not working parents with a W-2)
How GOP tax plans keep hurting healthcare, housing, and wages
Why Trump’s officials refuse to say whether they profit from the very laws they push.
