TAX DAY REMINDER to Pennsylvanians: 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, Pennsylvanians are reminded that the GOP agenda seeks to raise taxes on millions of Americans and sunset away essential programs like Social Security and Medicare.

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. Every GOP candidate must denounce this GOP Tax Scam to raise taxes and end essential programs that Pennsylvanians rely on.”
