"Republicans will give working class people tax hikes and cut their health care while lowering taxes for billionaires"

And most importantly for the purposes of electoral politics, you can rephrase that sentence thusly with ad backup that will win a factcheck:

"Rob Bresnahan voted to give himself and other millionaires tax cuts while cutting Medicaid and raising taxes for working Pennsylvanians."
