A Closer Look at the Infrastructure Bill

From Rep. David Rouser:  Here are just a handful of the policies my colleagues and I have been able to identify in this 2,145-page bill:

• Made in America Tax: The Made in America tax in this bill will increase the corporate tax rate to 26.5%.  This will send American companies overseas and punish job creators – passing on the consequences to working families in the form of higher prices, fewer jobs, and lower wages.
  
  
• Snooping Around: $80 billion for the IRS to hire 87,000 agents to snoop around your bank account if you have $10,000 or more in total expenditures in a year. (Now you know why they need 87,000 more agents!)  The Democrats assume this will collect an additional $400 billion in revenue.  
  
  
• $2.8 Billion to Grant Amnesty to Illegal Immigrants: Instead of hiring additional Border Patrol and ICE officers to handle the crisis at our southern border, this bill allocates $2.8 billion to increase “the capacity of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to adjudicate efficiently” amnesty applications and “reduce case processing backlogs.”  This will just incentivize even more illegal border crossings.
  
  
• Nationalized Education: Gives the Biden Administration the ability to approve/disapprove early education standards.  Parents know what’s best for their children and deserve to have a voice in their education.  Any attempt by Congressional Democrats to push parents out of the education conversation must be rejected.
  
  
• Socialized Medicine: The government price control system in this bill will prevent life-saving drugs from coming to the market.  It will destroy innovation in treatments for rare diseases.  Seniors, patients, and those with rare diseases will bear the burden of these decisions.

Call your Senators and Representatives to stop this monstrosity.
