Back to School: Washington Gridlock Could Cost Florida's Middle Class $2,200 More

08/16/12

EMBROKE PINES, FL – Earlier this month, Democrats voted to extend tax cuts for 100 percent of Americans and opposed the Republican plan to deliver extra tax breaks to the richest two percent and force the middle class to pay the price. Rather than join Democrats to provide tax relief to working families, Republicans decided to leave town for a month and let taxes rise on all Americans at a time when the economy can least afford it.

The Republican plan raises taxes on 25 million middle class families by an average of $2,200, while giving an extra $160,000 tax break to Americans making more than $1 million per year. Even some of our men and women in uniform and their families would face a tax hike.

On Thursday, August 16 in Pembroke Pines, U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-20) joined middle class Floridians to discuss how a tax hike would impact their families.

Daniella Levine also attended Thursday’s news conference. She is the President of Catalyst Miami, a local organization dedicated to improving the lives of people and the communities where they reside.
