Millions of working families would see tax increases under the Senate Republican tax plan. The nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation projects that 22 million households will see a tax increase of at least $100 in the year 2027, including 16 million who would see their taxes increase by more than $500. Most of these will be middle-class households, including 7 million households earning between $50,000 and $100,000 seeing a tax increase of at least $100.

President Trump and Senate Republicans’ tax proposal threatens to take the state and local tax deduction (SALT) away from over 40 million households. State and local deductions are not a partisan issue—both red and blue state families use them to save hard-earned money on their federal tax returns. The SALT deduction ensures Americans are not taxed twice on the same income. These deductions include write-offs for state sales, income, and property taxes. By eliminating the deduction, working Americans will face tax hikes costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

House Republicans are taking aim at tax incentives that lift up working families and promote infrastructure spending in struggling communities across the nation. These incentives are supported by both Republicans and Democrats, and benefit manufacturing workers, health care professionals, and school teachers, among others. Eliminating them would cripple economic progress in thousands of rural and urban communities, stripping working Americans of new job opportunities, higher wages, and affordable housing.

Post-9/11 veterans are a vital part of the workforce in industries across the economy. Many recent veterans continue serving their country after leaving the armed forces, working for the government at the federal, state, or local level. Nearly 16 percent of post-9/11 veterans work for the federal government where Republicans’ proposed budget cuts could impact wages and jobs.
