Just six short months ago, President Trump signed the GOP tax cuts into law, beginning the onslaught of positive economic news ushered in by its passage. Yet, not a single red state Democrat has admitted they regret voting against the middle-class tax cuts.
While Washington Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, claimed the tax cuts would create “Armageddon,” the reality is the tax cuts have helped workers get the pay raises they deserve, and provided much-needed economic relief to hardworking families by doubling the child tax credit and dramatically increasing the standard deduction.
As unemployment reaches historic new lows and consumer confidence reaches record highs, all signs are pointing to the success of long-overdue tax reform. So why are red state Democrats still silent? Are they afraid that if they speak out in support of the GOP’s efforts to help the middle-class, their party bosses’ super PACs won’t cut them checks in their uphill battles for reelection?
“After every red state Dem voted against the middle-class tax cuts responsible for record economic growth, how can voters really trust Democrats to put their family first,” said NRSC Communications Director Katie Martin. “The continued reports of economic success are proof that voters can’t count on red state Democrats to represent anything but the interest of their out-of-touch party leaders.”
