In a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Joyce highlighted the dramatically increased tax burden this legislation would place on middle class families. "Raising taxes on middle class families and small businesses is not the answer to ending the COVID-19 pandemic. Now is the time to support our families, it is not the time to spend more money than it cost to win World War II," said Dr. Joyce. "We need to put a stop to this reckless tax and spend spree, and get back to serving the American people." Watch Dr. Joyce's speech here. Background: If enacted, this legislation would spur the largest tax increase in American history. This tax increase would be used to finance spending priorities that include elements of the Green New Deal and priorities that would place burdensome regulations on small businesses. Furthermore, the sudden influx of federal dollars would cause a substantial increase in inflation at a time when the Consumer Price Index (CPI) has already risen faster than at any time since the great recession. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:17:01Z |
