This reported deal would codify Biden’s open border policies by legally permitting nearly 2 million border crossings per year. The American people will not be fooled, and neither should Conservatives in Congress.
“Tax relief” bill advances to the Senate
The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act (H.R. 7024) passed the House and now heads to the Senate. Unfortunately, this bill is not the tax relief it claims to be. It creates a massive welfare expansion, increasing the amount of “refundable tax credits” given to households who didn’t pay taxes. This misguided bill is a step backwards for strong family formation and keeps the lowest-income earners dependent on government handouts. In an honest debate, Congress would be forced to call this a “welfare program” keeping low-income, single parents in a cycle of government reliance and not “tax relief.”
The Senate must stop the tax relief bill from going to the President’s desk. We need real tax reform, not more welfare that only creates greater dependence on the government.
A Second Tax-Related Bill: A blue state tax scam
There is debate on a second tax-related bill to raise the $10,000 cap on the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction — currently, a married household opting to itemize their deductions can reduce their federal tax liability by the amount they pay in state and local taxes…up to $10,000. H.R. 7160, the SALT Marriage Penalty Elimination Act, would DOUBLE that deduction for joint filers – benefiting higher income earners with large mortgages and high state/local taxes.
Blue states like California, Illinois, New York, and New Jersey have relatively high state and local taxes. These states love to tax and spend! And the SALT deduction encourages these states to keep taxing & spending — because a portion of the cost is pushed onto the taxpayers in other states!
Here’s how the SALT scam works: New York raises taxes. Taxpayers in New York pay more state taxes. But a portion of what they pay gets deducted from their federal taxes, so they don’t really feel the whole pain, or get mad at their state legislators in Albany and vote them out of office. Meanwhile, the federal government still needs more money– so the tax burden is shifted onto the backs of taxpayers in red states (who have low, or even NO state income taxes)..
The solution to lower taxes in New York and New Jersey is simple — they need to elect state lawmakers who will lower their taxes, NOT expect a bailout from the rest of America. This bill could be before the House next week and representatives need to hear from you.
