WASHINGTON, D.C. –  Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) is concerned to see  Democrats taking advantage of a crisis to pursue policies that will further hurt taxpayers and consumers. As Americans struggle with price increases and inflation, higher taxes and excessive government spending will only further harm the economy. It’s clear Democrats are trying to raise taxes to attempt to buy votes with targeted government handouts in advance of the midterm election at the expense of the economy, taxpayers, and consumers.

TPA President David Williams stated “In the spirit of never letting a good crisis go to waste, Democrats are doing everything possible to destroy an economy that is struggling to recover from the pandemic. Between President Biden’s sweeping pen-and-phone competition order released last week, and now this massive $3.5 trillion tax and spend deal, the uncertainty of the pandemic will shift to uncertainty from Washington in ossifying private-sector investment.”

Williams added, “What taxpayers and businesses need most now is stability and time to heal, not more bloated government spending and massive tax increases.”
