Low-income Americans are often hit the hardest when it comes to rising #inflation. Folks are realizing their paycheck doesn’t go as far as it used to. No one should have to choose between food and rent. washingtonpost.com/business/…

nearly 3yrs ago, you voted for Trump’s tax code that gave tax cuts for wealthy with increases for lower earners? 🤔 inflation is a result of market behaviors; less as a result of political fiscal policy like tax increases. Are you really motivated to protect lower income earners?

Why you mad. Capitalism says raise prices when people have more $$ to spend. You a socialist now??

Too bad you’re not ready to do actual work to combat inflation. How about doing your job and attend your banking committee meetings. Wonder why I’m cynical, tweets don’t get it done Senator. Get vacancies on the Fed filled.

Here are some facts Senator “Cotton to Congress” Scott: -Republicans REFUSED to help the American people by voting on the American Rescue Plan that provided $$ to low income families -Republicans opposed BBB which provided Child Tax Credits to needy families #ThursdayThoughts

The poor are always the hardest hit by everything that costs them more. Taxes on essentials like food and medicine and fuel. Inflation. Tolls. And they cannot afford medical insurance.

You voted to give $2T to the rich which could have been used for the poor.

And those with fixed incomes

So what’s your plan to help us here in SC? Stating the obvious is easy, working to fix problems is hard, obviously more than you can handle.

Which is why it’s so mind boggling that gave the 1% a tax cut and not low-income Americans.

Now all of a sudden you care. If you really care so much Tim Scott put your money where your mouth is. Let’s see if you’ll introduce a bill to help low-income families during this crisis. I’ll wait 🤨
