Tax Day Reality Check: Max Miller, Mike Turner, and Mike Carey Prioritized Tax Cuts For Billionaires and Ohio Families Are Left Paying The Price

On Tax Day, Ohioans are reeling from the consequences of the unpopular Big, Ugly Bill after Max Miller, Mike Turner, and Mike Carey prioritized permanent tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy over lowering costs for hardworking families.

REMINDER: Most Americans say the taxes they paid this year are “too high.” The Big Ugly reality is that Miller, Turner, and Carey’s signature legislative achievement provides more in tax breaks to the top 1% than to the bottom 80% COMBINED, and is expected to raise taxes on the poorest 40% of Americans.

Rather than distance themselves from the least popular law in modern American history, Miller, Turner, and Carey are embracing it—despite the fact that their constituents are stuck dealing with rising gas pricesout-of-control utility costs, and massive cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs.

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi: 
“Max Miller, Mike Turner, and Mike Carey are lying to Ohioans if they say this is a win for anyone other than their billionaire backers. While Miller, Turner, and Carey’s billionaire donors celebrate Tax Day in DC, Ohio families struggling with the cost of living crisis won’t forget this betrayal when they head to the ballot box.”
