TAX DAY REMINDER to Arizonans: the GOP Wants to Raise Your Taxes

Rep. David Schweikert’s party bosses are pushing plan to raise taxes on seniors and middle class, sunset Medicare & Social Security

This Tax Day, Arizonans are reminded that the GOP agenda seeks to raise taxes on millions of Americans and sunset away essential programs like Social Security and Medicare.

Arizona voters deserve to know: Will Rep. David Schweikert break with Republican party bosses and stand up to their plan to gut seniors’ retirement and raise taxes on Arizona middle-class families?

A non-partisan analysis of the GOP plan to raise taxes on roughly 100 million Americans found:

  • Middle-income households would pay an average of $450 more in taxes.

  • Americans would pay over $100 billion more in federal income taxes in 2022 alone.

  • More than 80 percent of the tax increase would be paid by households making about $54,000 or less, and 97 percent would be paid by those making less than about $100,000.

DCCC Spokesperson Monica Robinson

“While Democrats fight to lower prices on everything from gas to prescription drugs, Republicans want to raise costs by hiking taxes on millions of middle-income households and gutting seniors’ retirement. David Schweikert owes Arizonans answers: does he have the spine to stand up to the GOP’s tax hike plan?”
