Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) made a remarkable argument on Thursday, explaining that in his opinion, Congress "should do a little more" for wealthy Americans. The moment came during a Republican policy discussion on the economy featuring Michigan gubernatorial candidate Rep. John James (R-MI), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), Grothman, and other GOP officials. The panel focused on the party's economic agenda and its differences with Democrats ahead of the midterm elections. Alleging that President Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Bill was designed to cut taxes for "the average guy," he insisted, pointing his finger at the crowd, "Don't let anybody tell you that people running, uh, Congress right now are looking out for the rich. Actually, I think we should do a little more for them, but, you know, right now, uh, we are doing all we can to help the middle class, right?"
