Dems Are Trying To Make Married Couples Pay Up With Major Tax Increase
< < Go Back
Democrats are rushing headlong to get Biden’s bloated spending bill passed. As usual, they want to make this bill law, before most people can even see what’s in it. But Republicans are peeling back the layers and discovering some serious problems.
We know that this bill amounted to a socialist takeover of our economy.
Now, Republicans are calling out an ugly rule that punishes married couples.
From Fox Business:
Thirty-three Republican senators wrote to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., calling out the “harmful” tax penalties for married couples in the House Democrats’ $3.5 trillion spending bill…
“For example, a couple in 2019 with two children where one parent earns $12,000 and the other $30,000 could pay $1,578 more in taxes if they are married — or nearly 4% of their yearly earnings,” the letter reads.
“The reconciliation bill could make the same family significantly worse off,” it continues. “It could nearly double the marriage penalty, costing the same parents $2,713 if they choose to marry.”
