Beth Van Duyne and House Republicans are being called out for pushing false claims about Democratic plans to roll back parts of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.
As Democrats look for ways to ensure the wealthiest Americans and corporations pay their fair share in taxes, no middle class family will see a tax hike — but that hasn’t stopped Beth Van Duyne from fear mongering and incorrectly claiming that the budget includes “tax hikes that will destroy the middle class.” A fact check slammed her absurd claim: “Biden’s proposal would not raise tax rates at all on middle-class families, according to an analysis from the Treasury Department.”
Here’s the truth: Beth Van Duyne is the one who voted against a tax cut for middle class families when she voted against the American Rescue Plan, which delivered a Child Tax Credit to the parents of 144,600 kids in TX-24.

American Independent: House Republicans falsely claim Biden’s tax hikes on the rich will ‘cripple’ middle class
September 2, 2021
-
“House Republicans are outraged that President Joe Biden plans to roll back parts of the 2017 Trump tax cuts.”
-
“As the Democratic majority in Congress prepares to enact President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan, Republicans are falsely claiming its tax cuts will be calamitous for middle-class Americans.”
-
“‘Nancy Pelosi – with no debate – passed a $3.5 TRILLION budget complete with green new deal priorities, enough debt to cripple us for generations, and tax hikes that will destroy the middle class,’ complained Texas Rep. Beth Van Duyne.”
-
”Biden’s proposal would not raise tax rates at all on middle-class families, according to an analysis from the Treasury Department.”
-
“His recent proposal would raise marginal rates only for individual taxpayers earning more than $452,700 in taxable income and for married couples who file jointly earning more than $509,300, the Treasury analysis makes clear.”
-
“Biden ran in 2020 on an ironclad promise not to raise taxes for anyone making less than $400,000 a year — but to increase rates for those above that threshold and for corporations, as Brady’s tweet shows.”
-
“Polling has shown that strong majorities of Americans want the Democrats’ tax proposals to become law. A survey released in June by ALG Research and Hart Research found 69% of registered voters back raising taxes on ‘the wealthy and corporations,’ compared to 27% opposing.”
