The tax plan that has been proposed by the House Republican leadership fails to support working families while making them foot a $1.5 trillion bill. Nonpartisan research projects that this legislation would raise taxes on 38 million hardworking Americans. The impact would be far and wide as the tax plan would end deductions for seniors facing growing medical expenses, young adults working to shrink their student debt, and families paying State income and sales taxes. This legislation would also have enormously damaging economic consequences as it would leave our children to pay off its $1.5 trillion price tag. We need tax reform that puts working families first, but this clearly isn't it. For the sake of our economy, seniors, students, and working families, as well as the middle class, we must defeat this bill. ____________________
