The Latest Take from Citizens for Tax Justice
Sen. Scott’s Agenda is the Republican Agenda: Offensive and Unpopular



Despite evidence of unpopularity at every turn, to Sen. Scott’s credit, he released his 11-point plan arguing, “Americans deserve to know what [Republicans] will do when given the chance to govern.” Among the exaltation of unpopular policies was the following statement:

All Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount. Currently over half of Americans pay no income tax.

In ignoring the federal payroll taxes that all working people pay, and the many regressive state and local taxes including sales taxes and property taxes that affect nearly everyone at all income levels, Sen. Scott perpetuates the misunderstanding that large numbers of Americans pay no taxes. Aside from being incorrect and offensive, it is absurdly hypocritical. Read more.
