WASHINGTON DC – The US Senators of Pennsylvania disagree on the Republican tax reform plan being proposed in Washington D.C.
US Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) said it is an amazing opportunity, “What that means for the hardworking families that I represent all across Pennsylvania is a direct pay raise when we lower their direct tax burden. It also means an indirect pay raise as more jobs are created and more businesses are launched. Upward pressure on wages allows people to have a higher standard of living.” “I am really excited about this opportunity and I am confident that we are going to seize the moment,” he said.
Meantime, US Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) said, “The tax plan contains massive tax cuts for the super-rich, big corporations and Washington special interests, which won’t create jobs or grow incomes for middle class families. In order to finance tax cuts for the super-rich and big corporations, this proposal from Republicans in Washington would add $1.5 trillion to our deficit, which could lead to cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.”
GOP leaders and the President Donald Trump unveiled the outline of the tax overhaul plan Wednesday. They say more details will emerge in the weeks ahead.
