Democrats Called the Working Families Tax Cuts ‘Abominable’ — Now They’re Claiming They Passed Them

are benefiting from this historic tax relief, Democrats are attempting to mislead the American people and claim credit for something they opposed vehemently. Republicans will not let the American people forget that if Democrats had it their way, every taxpayer would have faced the largest tax increase in American history.

The math on what Democrats actually voted for is equally clear. Without the Working Families Tax Cuts, American families would have faced a $5 trillion tax increase — the largest in American history. That was the Democratic position. That was their vote. The fact that it didn’t happen is entirely because Republicans held the line without a single Democratic vote.
