[Holy Crap, I'd go for this!--Idepedant97] ========================================== Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., recently rolled out sweeping tax cut plans. Booker seeks to create a federal tax exemption for up to $75,000 in income for married couples. Van Hollen wants to set that figure at $92,000. Both have been floated as potential 2028 presidential candidates. In California, progressive candidate for governor Katie Porter, a former Democratic congresswoman, is proposing to wipe out state income taxes for California families making up to $100,000 per year. In Georgia, gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms, a former mayor of Atlanta and Biden administration official, is campaigning on "eliminating state income taxes for teachers." The trend has sparked a "wonk revolt" uniting policy experts from the center to the left against the new trend, said Zach Moller, senior director of economic policy at the moderate Democratic group Third Way. |
