Tax Cuts for Working Families
There is no way to sugarcoat it: over the last 60 years, the middle class got a raw deal. As America grew richer, nearly all the gains went to the top 1%. Our tax system, meant to create opportunity for millions, is now working for fewer and fewer Americans.
But we can fix that.
True financial responsibility means everyone pays their fair share, so we can lower the deficit and put more money in the pockets of working families. By raising the corporate tax rate, increasing taxes on the highest earners, and eliminating loopholes like Carried Interest, we can finance the most effective tax breaks for working people to help more people afford a home, build a family, or start a business.
