Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Ohio's 9th district since 1983, recently expressed her concerns on social media regarding a legislative proposal she refers to as the "One Big Bonanza for Billionaires Bill." Her comments were shared over a series of tweets that reflect her opposition to the bill and its potential impact.

On July 2, 2025, Rep. Kaptur tweeted about the bill, describing it as "cartoonishly evil" and accused it of "robbing the poor to feed the rich." "The One Big Bonanza for Billionaires Bill is cartoonishly evil — robbing the poor to feed the rich."

Continuing her critique into the early hours of July 3, she updated followers on her efforts in Washington D.C., stating that despite it being after midnight, they were still fighting against what she calls the "Billionaire Bonanza." She highlighted several negative outcomes associated with this legislation: rural hospital closures, loss of healthcare for 17 million people, an increase of over $3 trillion in national debt, and construction job losses. "I updated you as the sun came up and I headed to DC. Now it is after midnight and we are still fighting to turn back the Billionaire Bonanza and prevent rural hospital closures, 17 million losing health care, over $3 Trillion added to the debt, and construction job losses across"

Later that morning at around 4:00 am on July 3rd, Rep. Kaptur continued her advocacy against what she described as a detrimental piece of legislation for Northwest Ohioans. She warned that passing this bill would result in America ceding its glass industry leadership and forfeiting its lead in solar energy production to China. She urged Congress to work towards creating a brighter future for America instead. "After 4:00 am we are still fighting to stop this Big Bonanza Bill for Billionaires. It makes life harder for the people of NW Ohio while ceding our glass industry and forfeiting America's lead in solar energy to China."

Marcy Kaptur was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1946 and currently resides there at age 76. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison with a BA in 1968.
