With the Donald Trump’s tax and agenda bill at the edge of the collapse in the House of Representatives, the President requires that the Republican party meet it to ensure that the legislation becomes law.
«Republicans must join behind, ‘Big Big Beautiful Bill!'» Trump wrote on Friday about Truth Social, claiming that «will reduce taxes for all Americans.»
One of the main priorities of the reconciliation package is to encode Trump’s tax cuts, which strongly favored rich Americans, in the permanent law. But the fiscal package produced by the House of Representatives and the Mean Committee will not really reduce taxes for all Americans. In fact, it will increase taxes on the poor.
According to an analysis of the Joint Tax Committee of the Congress, the Trump Conciliation bill will increase taxes on Americans who earn less than $ 15,000 in 2027. By 2029 and in the future, the legislation will continue to increase taxes on those people, as well as the Americans who earn between $ 15,000 and $ 30,000.
Meanwhile, the millionaires will see tax cuts in each year included in the analysis. In two of the four years, according to the JCT analysis, the millionaires will see an average decrease in their tax rate than Americans in general.
From 2027 to 2033, Americans are expected to win less than $ 30,000 collectively pay almost $ 18 billion more in taxes. At the same time, people who earn more than $ 1 million will receive tax cuts collectively for a total of $ 242 billion.
Representative Don Beyer (D-VA.) Offered an explanation of why «dozens of millions of Americans who work will see a tax increase in 2029 under the bill of Republicans», in a thread published Wednesday night to Bluesky. He wrote that the legislation of the Republicans would only temporarily reduce taxes on the tips and the payment of overtime, which were two of Trump’s 2024 campaign promises, «in opposition to the cuts for the richest 1 percent, which made permanent.»
On Friday, at least four Republican members in the Budget Committee of the House of Representatives withdrew their support for the Reconciliation Law project, not approveing massive legislation to the complete chamber in its first vote. Representative Ralph Norman (RS.C.) told journalists that it was a difficult «no» until the legislation included a language that would implement Medicaid’s work requirements before the current start date of 2029 and would advance the repeal of the Law on Reduction of Inflation, the Green Energy Tax Law.
«If we are going to have (…) Americans with a healthy body who receive checks, illegal foreigners who receive checks, subsidies that go to corporations that should not obtain them, I am out,» Norman said.
The current changes of the Conciliation Law to Medicaid, the Government Health Insurance Program for low -income Americans and the disabled, generate 10 million adults and children who lose their insurance coverage.
If you manage to go through the camera, where Republicans have a close majority of seven votes, the legislation can already be in danger in the Senate. Last week, Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO.) He wrote in an opinion article for The New York Times That to «build our great and beautiful bill around the reduction of health insurance for the poor who work» is «both morally incorrect and politically suicidal.»
«Republicans need to open their eyes: our voters support social security programs. More than that, our voters depend on those programs. And there is a reason for this that Republicans would do well to reflect. Our economy is increasing social».
Despite the clear indicators that the republican reconciliation package will be a disaster for the Americans of the working class, both in the short and long term, the party seems intensified to force them to cross the congress to appease Trump. What is even more discouraging is that the majority of the opposition is not worrying about its constituents, but a feeling that the legislation will not start the social security network from under them quick enough.
