GOP Rep Files To Extend Tax Cuts For The Wealthy

Florida Politics reports:

U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan is filing legislation to prevent Donald Trump-era tax cuts from expiring. “In 2017, Republicans delivered the most comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. tax code in more than three decades and achieved historic economic growth,” Buchanan said.

“With Americans continuing to suffer under the weight of record-high inflation and an uncertain economic future, we need to provide some much-needed relief and certainty to hardworking families and Main Street businesses and ensure these tax cuts do not expire.”

The Longboat Key Republican introduced similar legislation last year, when Democrats held a majority in the House.

The legislation was introduced by multi-millionaire Rep. Vern Buchanan, who got in hot water when he bought a YACHT on the same day he voted for those Republican tax cuts for the wealthy.

Again, Republicans shamelessly telling us who they’re fighting for.https://t.co/lpnWplssgA

The purchase of Rep. Vern Buchanan’s multimillion dollar yacht may have been financed by a foreign bank looking to influence a tax bill he helped write, according to a new report. https://t.co/pqeXTmUkUm
