TAX DAY REMINDER to Connecticans: The GOP Wants to Raise Your Taxes

GOP party bosses are pushing plan to raise taxes on seniors and middle class, sunset Medicare & Social Security

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

Lobbyist George Logan has already stated he wants “more people paying taxes.”

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 James Singer
“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. George Logan must denounce this GOP Tax Scam to raise taxes and end essential programs that Connecticans rely on.”
