Lowering the cost of prescription drugs is a moral imperative. I firmly support the provisions of the Elijah Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act and will continue to work with my colleagues to make sure the House passes strong legislation to reduce prescription drug prices. — PolitiTweet.org

House Democrats on the @WaysMeansCmte agree with @POTUS that letting millionaires amass huge wealth in part by avoiding taxes and then pass it on tax-free is wrong. The super-rich must pay their fair share. That's what's at stake as we work on the Build Back Better Act today. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

So when you hear Republicans shout about "death taxes" and "small family farms," don't listen. Under their rigged system you have to be worth 11 MILLION dollars to qualify, that isn't small business or small family farms. They're trying to give a tax cut only to multimillionaires — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Republicans rigged our tax laws to allow the super-rich, the wealthiest people at the top, to avoid paying their fair share by exploiting loopholes, amass huge amounts of wealth with a lower effective tax rate than middle class Americans, and then pass that wealth on tax free. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

Republicans call these taxes on the wealthiest a "death tax" on "family farmers and small businesses." Nonsense. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center: "Small farms and businesses did not owe estate tax in 2018 because of the $11.2 million effective exemption" in the GOP tax law. https://t.co/NWDMBl99Lm — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

My Republican colleagues are laser-focused on their top priority: repealing estate taxes, which are only paid by the 2,000 richest families in the country. They keep saying it's to "help small businesses." Again: everyone who pays this has a net worth over 11 MILLION dollars. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer

My Republicans are talking endlessly about how eager they are to repeal estate taxes to "help small businesses." It's their top priority. Again: Republicans want to eliminate a tax paid only by the 2,000 richest families, all of whom have a net worth of over 11 MILLION dollars. — PolitiTweet.org
