If the Republican tax plan adds $1.7 Trillion to the national debt (based on the most Republican friendly estimates, that is $135,000 each household in Bucks County, PA would owe more than they owe now. Under the plan, about 90% of taxpayers would not have enough income to itemize, so the deductions added or eliminated targeting the middle class will not affect them. Those taxpayers, according to Republican estimates (and my own math) would lower their taxes by $4.00 a day, per household, or $1.35 per person. Enough for a Starbucks coffee the whole family would have to share. So Republicans are imposing $135,000 in increased debt for a shared cup of coffee a day. My congressman (Fitzpatrick) voted for it. Couldn’t someone with some creativity turn this into a TV add against him?
