Braun Introduces Fix To Stop Democrats From Banning State Tax Cuts
WASHINGTON – In the early morning hours of March 6 as the Senate’s “vote-a-rama†on the $1.9 trillion COVID package ended, Majority Leader Schumer introduced a final amendment which included text that would ban states from cutting taxes until 2024 if they take any federal funds from the package.
Senator Mike Braun today introduced the Let States Cut Taxes Act, a bill to make sure Democrats don’t get away with this scheme to stop states from further opening their economies and allowing Americans to keep more of what they earn through tax cuts.
“Democrats are trying to ban states from cutting taxes with a sneaky amendment to the $1.9 trillion so-called COVID relief package,†said Braun. “Not only did this blue state bailout bill penalize states for reopening by calculating state funds based on unemployment, now they are trying to use it as a back door to ban states from cutting taxes. My bill would make sure they don’t get away with it.â€
