Club for Growth Opposes GOP’s Proposed Consumer Tax

  |  

“Pro-growth tax reform is not creating a new middle-class consumer tax to take the place of high corporate taxes.”

 Washington, DC – Club for Growth president David McIntosh released the following statement in response to published comments by the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee on the border adjustment provision in the House Republicans’ tax reform plan:

“Pro-growth tax reform is not creating a new middle-class consumer tax to take the place of high corporate tax rates,” said Club for Growth President David McIntosh. “There is no budget rule that requires Congress to raise one tax when it cuts another. House Republicans are already threatening to sacrifice pro-growth tax reform on the canard of revenue neutrality. Instead of trading one tax for another, the GOP needs to focus on cutting rates, and cutting spending and the size of government to match.”
