To: The United States Senate
Senate: Vote NO on Mulvaney! Respect parents and caregivers!
Say no to Mick Mulvaney's nomination for budget director! By failing to recognize his household employee as a worker and pay his taxes, he proved he doesn't understand work, money, or duty well enough to serve in this role.
"In 2000, we had triplets. When they came home, we hired someone to help my wife take care of the children. In our minds, she was a babysitter. She did not live with us. She did not spend the night there. She did not cook. She did not clean. She did not educate the children; she helped my wife with the kids." - Rep. Mick Mulvaney

Why is this important?
If caring for triplets isn't a job, we don't know what is! Maybe this multi-millionaire needs a time-out from politics to try out caregiving himself. We know we need someone who understands the challenges facing American families and their budgets.
Mulvaney failed to pay $15,000 in taxes for four years of this woman's work. (Making around $60,000 a year sure sounds like work!) Yet once he was in office, he supported four separate pieces of legislation to keep anyone with unpaid tax debts out of the government.
Now he's writing it off as an "oops." We know this means at least one of these two things:
1) He thinks, like Donald Trump, that it's just good business to try to get away with not paying your taxes
2) That raising his triplet children wasn't real work
As Americans, parents, and taxpayers, we know neither is true nor acceptable. The Senate Budget Committee must hold Mulvaney to his own standards and only approve someone who is capable of good, honest home economics!
