REAL TAX REFORM FOR REAL PEOPLE
(Mrs. DAVIS of California asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I have received hundreds of
letters from constituents who are deeply worried about the proposed tax
plan.
One San Diegan told me that, without the State and local tax
deduction, his family of seven faces a loss of over $40,000 in
deductions.
Another constituent told me that his family would lose $20,000 in
take-home pay under this tax plan.
Why on Earth would we do this to middle class families? Why would we
cap the mortgage deductions middle class home buyers depend on to lower
taxes for huge corporations?
This plan is simply reckless and hurtful to the American people and
our economic growth.
Let's take a look at real tax reform for real people, not a plan that
helps those who need it the least.
