Boyle (PA-13), a member of the House Budget Committee, released the following statement after the House passed H.R. 1, the House Republicans’ tax overhaul: “The facts are clear: the GOP Tax Plan is a handout to the mega-wealthy that puts further burden on middle class families. The Republican Party sold a bill of goods to hardworking Americans across this country, promising them reform that closes loopholes and boosts the middle class. Yet, today, they sold those people out to give trillions in tax cuts to the mega-rich while closing so-called loopholes that helped students, teachers, and the sick. They claimed they would cut taxes for working families who face stacked odds and piling bills. Instead, they voted to raise taxes for 36 million of those middle-class families, and to strip critical tax deductions from struggling Americans in order to bankroll massive giveaways to big banks and multinational corporations who ship jobs overseas. This tax plan is a miscarriage of democracy, a scam, and a direct assault on the middle class.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
