Tax Day Reality Check: Tom Kean Jr. Prioritized Tax Cuts For Billionaires as NJ Families Are Left Paying The Price

On Tax Day, New Jersey families are reeling from the consequences of the unpopular so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” after career politician Tom Kean Jr. prioritized permanent tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy over lowering costs for hardworking families.

REMINDERMost Americans say the taxes they paid this year are “too high.” The reality is that Kean Jr.’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, Kean Jr. and House Republicans 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 Eli Cousin
Tax day is a reminder that career politician Tom Kean Jr. voted to give handouts to billionaires at the expense of New Jersey families. He has completely betrayed his own community.”
