MI HR0219

Urges U.S. Congress to reject the current federal tax reform proposal under consideration.

Argues the proposal provides little benefit to working families struggling with basic needs and would exacerbate economic hardship during recovery from the Great Recession.

Warns the proposal would reduce charitable donations by an estimated $13 billion, harm nonprofit agencies and churches, and negatively impact health care and education through loss of deductions.

Claims the proposal disproportionately benefits wealthy individuals and corporations through estate tax cuts and corporate tax rate reductions while eliminating the state and local tax (SALT) deduction.

States nonpartisan analyses show the proposal would increase the federal deficit by over $1 trillion over ten years and was poorly vetted with hidden provisions.
