After gaming out more gas gimmicks and spinning away negative economic growth, Democrats’ “new” plan to address Bidenflation is crippling tax hikes on Middle Class families and Main Street businesses. 

Working Americans disagree, with the vast majority saying a tax hike would push prices up higher, according to a recent poll. 

As put by the Washington Examiner editorial board:

“…Democrats want to ‘undo’ former President Donald Trump’s tax cuts. At the time they were passed, Democrats falsely claimed that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) would only benefit the wealthy. 

“The IRS has since released actual data on this, and it turns out they were not being truthful. As every objective observer recognized at the time, the Trump tax cuts have benefited all income groups.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

TCJA Worked for American Workers.

• According to analysis of CBO data by the Tax Foundation, TCJA reduced federal tax rates for households across every income level–while increasing the share of taxes paid by the top 1 percent.
• More than 6 million people were lifted out of poverty, dropping the poverty rate to 10.5 percent, the lowest level in U.S. history.

Democrats’ Crippling Tax Hikes Would Worsen Inflation and Destroy U.S. Jobs. 

• Inflation is already 276 percent higher than predicted by Biden’s budget last year because of higher spending.

• A study by the Tax Foundation found that President Biden’s tax hikes would destroy at least 138,000 U.S. jobs.
• A majority of small businesses fear Bidenflation will close down their business.

Bottom Line: The Last Thing American Families and Main Street Businesses Need is Higher Taxes. 

• If Democrats want to get serious about addressing rising prices, they’ll stop threatening to make it worse with crippling tax hikes, more runaway spending, and a regulatory environment that will send energy costs higher.
