Vulnerable Reps. Young Kim and Michelle Steel Campaign Alongside Rick Scott, the GOP Mastermind Who Wants to Raise Middle-Class Taxes

Sen. Rick Scott is pushing plan to raise taxes on seniors and middle class, sunset Medicare & Social Security

This weekend, vulnerable Republicans Young Kim and Michelle Steel joined Sen. Rick Scott, the architect of a GOP plan to raise taxes on millions of Americans and sunset away essential programs like Social Security and Medicare.

Do Kim and Steel support Scott’s plan to gut seniors’ retirement and raise taxes on Southern California middle-class families?

According to a non-partisan analysis, 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 more than $100 billion 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.

Maddy Mundy, DCCC spokesperson:
“Young Kim and Michelle Steel owe Californians answers: do they support Rick Scott’s plan to raise taxes on middle-class families and gut seniors’ Social Security and Medicare?”
