I have done the math for people of south Alabama as well; and, if enacted, what the budget will mean to the average Alabama household is not good news. In fact, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there are approximately 4.4 million people who are proud to call Alabama their home. If this tax increase is enacted, it will mean that the average tax-paying Alabama household will owe another $2,500, $2,500. Friends, that is a lot of money to most folks back in my district in Alabama and I think in every district in America. But if they have to write an additional check for $2,500 more to Uncle Sam, if this Democrat budget is enacted, then that likely means no braces for the kids. It means that you won't be able to set aside money this year for your children going off to college, and it certainly will mean there will be no family vacation.
