House Republicans are moving forward with a revised tax plan that echoes President Trump’s 2017 policies, promising benefits to families and workers. However, experts warn this proposal could instead hurt middle-class families by favoring the wealthy and leaving everyday Americans burdened with higher taxes. The plan touts tax breaks for hospitality employees but lacks clear details on how these changes will be implemented without creating confusion. A key sticking point is the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction, which is causing debate in Congress and threatens to derail the plan’s passage. Critics argue that while the bill raises the SALT cap, this alone does not address the issue of high tax burdens in states like New York and California where families already face significant financial strain. 80% of Americans pay at least $10,000 per year in taxes due to changes in federal law under Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). This plan risks exacerbating inequality by disproportionately benefiting higher-income taxpayers while leaving lower-income families behind. The bill’s promise of a $4,000 deduction for seniors may offer some relief to retirees, but it is unclear whether this benefit will outweigh the potential financial burden on others facing high taxes in their states.
