Americans abroad are on the radar of Trump’s Republican party.
Yesterday, Trump made a statement about tax policy for Americans abroad. Over the last weeks he has also made multiple threats about Americans abroad and our right to vote.
Trump had four years as President to support Americans abroad and the issues that matter to us. But instead, he created harmful tax regimens for Americans abroad, putting small business owners out of business through the Repatriation and GILTI taxes.
Trump won’t address the challenges of Americans abroad. Instead, just as he harmed our ability to earn a living with his tax bill, now he is attacking our right to vote and our enfranchisement as American citizens.
His legal teams are challenging voters abroad in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and other battleground states. Democrats Abroad and the Democratic party are fighting back - providing voter protection support for individuals and participating in court cases to ensure our votes are counted this November.
Vice President Kamala Harris has a real policy team with real policy proposals to create an Opportunity Economy and a track record of passing legislation to help the working and middle class. Trump showed during his term that he only cares about tax cuts for his rich friends.
Democrats Abroad has been doing the leg work to advocate for changes to the laws and build up bipartisan Congressional support for reforming tax policy for Americans abroad for years. We feel the myriad of challenges Americans abroad face in this regard. Our track record speaks for itself.
