By Josh Israel -September 15, 2021 4:44 PM
A nonpartisan congressional analysis found the Build Back Better plan would cut taxes for Americans making under $200,000.
A new analysis from Congress' nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation released Tuesday found that President Joe Biden's proposed Build Back Better investment plan would cut taxes for middle-class Americans. But GOP lawmakers continue to falsely claim that the $3.5 trillion package would including "crippling tax hikes" for working families.
On Tuesday, Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee posted on their website a "fact check" by the ranking member of the committee, Texas Rep. Kevin Brady. The document warned that "Democrats will raise taxes on the middle class, small businesses, reversing benefits of TCJA," the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that Brady authored. That legislation drastically reduced taxes on the very wealthy and on corporations, while actually raising taxes on 10 million American families.
The Texas Republican accused Biden of breaking his "pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class," arguing that increased corporate tax burdens would eventually be "borne by lower- and middle-income taxpayers." But while businesses may ultimately pass on some of the cost of those tax increases to their workers and shareholders, that does not make them a tax increase on the middle class.

(82,849 posts)7. Gee, Republicans are usually all about tax cuts
I guess annual income less than $200,000 doesn't make a person a real American in Republican eyes. But they're okay with tax cuts of a few dollars for lower income people as long as their wealthy pals trim millions off their tax bills.
