case, ed Rep

<div>no lnx</div><div>The desperate need in this country coupled with skyrocketing levels of wealth concentration requires bold action. Refusing to address this inequality is counter to everything the Democratic Party claims to stand for and is, frankly, at this moment in history, un-American. </div><div>
</div><div>The President of the United States, who is also the head of the Democratic Party, has called for $3.5 trillion worth of investments and new revenues to match those expenditures. We hope and expect members of the President’s party to support his agenda in its entirety. </div><div>
</div><div>The following Democrats have refused to support the President’s agenda and are actively working to maintain preferential treatment for millionaires, billionaires and corporations:</div><div>

</div><div>Or call: 202-225-4272</div><div>
</div><div>Bourdeaux has concerns about the elimination of the stepped-up basis. She is more supportive than she lets on publicly though.</div><div>

</div><div>Or call: 202-225-4465</div><div>

</div><div>Murphy has issues with raising taxes. She wants to tackle climate change but doesn’t think we need to change taxes to do it. She toes a complicated line between being ‘fiscally responsible’ and focused on ‘tax fairness,’ yet she somehow doesn’t support amending our tax structure. She will not vote for a bill that is not agreed upon with the Senate.</div><div>

</div><div>Or call: (202) 225-5516</div><div>
</div><div>Rice voted against allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, which would immediately lower drug prices for seniors. 90% of her constituents and 80% of all Americans support allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Approximately 100% of Pharmaceutical companies do not support allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, on the other hand, and they give campaign contributions to politicians who support their position.</div><div>
