Rick Scott claimed he doesn't want to impose new income taxes. It's on page 35 of his new plan.

A prominent Republican senator tried recasting details of his proposed midterm platform for the GOP after facing major blowback from Democrats and potentially saddling Republican candidates in the midterms with a tax hike on tens of millions of low-and middle-income Americans.

Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, released a document named "an 11-point plan to rescue America," laying out what he believed Republicans should campaign on in the midterms. He told Politico that it was not intended to represent a broader GOP platform.

The outline on page 35 proposes to compel every American to pay some amount in federal income tax, arguing they'd become more invested in the country's success.

But Scott insisted that he doesn't intend to raise taxes in a conversation with Fox host Sean Hannity.

Somebody's got to pay for the billionaires' tax breaks.
