The Find Out Podcast · Sen. Chris Van Hollen Wants To Give 130 Million Americans a Tax Cuts · 17 Mar 2026 podcast

Yeah, look, I very much believe that we need to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

In fact, you know, my view is that

Yeah, we want to we want to address some of the broken aspects of the system.

But my view is the overall health care system is pretty much broken and we need a Medicare for all system.

That's my view.

And we need more affordable child care.

And this bill that I've introduced, along with, you know, 19 colleagues all over all

This is not intended to be the only Democratic tax plan, right?

It works together with other proposals, including tax on wealth.

For example, Bernie Sanders has introduced a bill that it has a wealth tax, and he uses some of those proceeds, for example, to expand Medicare, to include coverage for eyesight and hearing and dental.

I've long supported that.

So this is to be viewed in tandem.

I will say, though, I think it's a very important piece of it.

I think it's an important pillar because, you know, this goes to people who are currently paying income taxes, who have current income tax liability.

And I do think so many of those folks are getting squeezed more and more, and this provides them with some relief.

Yeah, so there are two pieces to this.

And what you're getting at is one of the fundamental problems in our system, which is that people who make most of their money off of money get a much better deal tax-wise than people who are making money off their hard work every day.

And people are passing on that wealth from one generation to the next tax-free.

We are literally creating this huge American aristocracy, which, of course, runs counter to the whole idea that people are going to come to the United States, work hard, and work themselves up by the bootstraps.

People are literally passing on billions of dollars.
