A new poll<\/a> released today shows that a quarter of Americans think their taxes would go up under the Republican tax bill. They’re right. See for yourself:<\/p>\n

Tax Policy Center<\/a>: “However, not all taxpayers would receive a tax cut under this proposal—at least 7 percent of taxpayers would pay higher taxes<\/strong> under the proposal in 2018 and at least 25 percent of taxpayers would pay more in 2027.”<\/p>\n

Washington Post<\/a>: “But a growing number of nonpartisan analyses show that some middle-class Americans would not get more money in their pockets under the GOP plan. Instead, they would face higher tax bills<\/strong>, a potential pitfall in selling this plan to the public and to enough lawmakers for it to pass.”<\/p>\n

New York Times<\/a>: “That is why taxes would go up<\/strong> for about 45 percent of middle-class taxpayers by 2026 under the House bill, according to an analysis by The Times.”<\/p>\n

TIME<\/a>: “Graduate students say the Republican tax reform plan could raise their taxes<\/strong> by nearly 300%.”<\/p>\n

Washington Post<\/a>: “The analysts also concluded that families earning between $20,000 and $40,000 a year and between $200,000 to $500,000 would, on average, pay more<\/strong> in individual income taxes in 2023 and beyond.”<\/p>\n

The Hill<\/a>: “By 2027, only 46.2 percent of taxpayers would have a lower tax bill, and 19.5 percent would see their bills go up<\/strong>. A significant portion of the middle class would see their taxes rise over time.”<\/p>\n

Los Angeles Times<\/a>: “About 11% of taxpayers with incomes between $75,000 and $100,000 would see a tax increase<\/strong> of at least $100 in 2019, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. By 2027, that figure would jump to 26% of taxpayers.”<\/p>\n

Business Insider<\/a>: “The House GOP tax plan would result in a tax increase<\/strong> for nearly one out of five Americans by 2027, according to a new report from the Joint Committee on Taxation.”<\/p>\n

USA Today<\/a>: “The official tax scorekeepers in Congress have concluded that at every income level, some people will have to pay higher taxes<\/strong> under a sweeping tax overhaul described by President Trump and House Republicans as a massive cut for the middle class.”<\/p>\n

Washington Examiner<\/a>: “Because the GOP bill includes a less generous measure of inflation than allowed under current law and some of the tax credits for parents phase out after five years, many middle-class families would see tax hikes<\/strong> in future years.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
