Uh, they will repeal it and let us know in 20 years what they will replace it with. |
“After years of enduring the entirely justifiable criticism that the modern Republican Party was bereft of ideas and inspiration, and had instead merely become a vessel for the authoritarian delusions of one man, U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., decided to take matters into his own hands. Scott, the head of the Senate Republicans’ re-election wing, sat down and came up with a policy agenda so uniformly terrible that some of his fellow Republicans (notably House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.), can’t bring themselves to support it, WFLA-TV reported. Scott is coming in for scorching criticism for his suggestion that all Americans, regardless of their wealth, be required to pay federal income taxes. While this may theoretically sound great on paper (Yes, we’re looking at you, Jeff Bezos), the consensus is that it would result in a massive tax hike for the poorest 40 percent of Americans, who would see their tax liability rise by an average of $1,000, according to one analysis. The share of households facing tax hikes would vary across states, according to an analysis by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, ranging from a low of about 24 percent in Washington State to high of roughly 50 percent in Mississippi, which is among the poorest states in the country.” https://www.penncapital-star.com/campaigns-elections/analysis-gop-plan-would-be-a-tax-hike-for-35-of-pa-residents-wednesday-morning-coffee/ |
