Last summer Congress passed tax and spending cuts that will funnel more than $1 trillion over the next decade to multinational corporations and America’s elite. The package makes historically sharp cuts that will take away many families’ health care and food assistance while adding $4 trillion to our national debt.

Oregon, like other states, faces large added costs and significant budget risks due to the new federal law. Contact your state reps today to tell them to disconnect from the federal tax code.

1. Reject the federal tax giveaways for the wealthy. That money should go to schools, health care, housing, and other services working families rely on.
2. Don’t balance the state budget on the backs of working families, kids, seniors, rural communities, and people with disabilities.
3. Disconnecting from the federal tax code is the solution. Oregon’s automatic tie to the federal tax code makes us especially vulnerable to the federal giveaways, costing up to $900 million in the next two years. Strategically disconnecting protects vital services and reflects Oregon’s values of fairness and shared responsibility.
