The GOP tax plan is not a game
On Tuesday afternoon, the House passed the final version of the GOP’s tax bill, and the Senate is expected to pass the bill later Tuesday night. The plan will upend the American economic system, raise taxes on middle class people making between $40,000 and $50,000 a year by more than $5 billion, cut taxes by more than $5.5 billion for people making more than $1 million a year, punish wage-earning employees, repeal the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate, likely force billions of dollars in cuts to safety net programs, and kill — conservatively — 10,000 people every year.
President Trump aims to sign the legislation into law as soon as possible.
The bill that will end up on his desk is propped up by lies: Republicans promised the tax cuts would pay for themselves, but even the friendliest analyses tell a different story. They promised they would simplify the tax code, but they ultimately only further complicated the process. They promised they would cut taxes on the middle class, but they’ve done the opposite.
