Burton: Democrat Leaders Are Threatening The Unthinkable
“In just 95 days, $3.9 trillion in tax increases will drain every income bracket in America.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN-05) issued the following statement about the looming $3.9 trillion tax increase that Democrat leaders have vowed not to address before adjourning Congress this week:
“The Democrat leaders in Congress are threatening the unthinkable, as they plan to adjourn this week while leaving our businesses and families to ponder what could be the largest tax hike in American history. In just 95 days, $3.9 trillion in tax increases will drain every income bracket in America. The unemployment rate is flirting with double digits again, the national debt is heading towards $14 trillion, and now our economy is embroiled in uncertainty about taxes.
“To leave our fragile economy in this state of uncertainty is an abject failure to govern. Even worse, the Democrat leaders have abandoned the American people based on a cold, political calculation ahead of the November elections.
“As it stands today, over 30 Democrats have joined a united Republican party on this critical issue, and if given the opportunity to vote on the House floor this week, our bipartisan coalition could stop the uncertainty and stop the tax hikes on every income bracket.”
