Sen. Rick Scott: Biden, Buttigieg Tax Hikes Will Hurt Hardworking American Families
March 29, 2021
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott released the below statement after Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg . Senator Scott asked Secretary Buttigieg in his January nominee has already broken his by sneaking a to outline my opposition to any tax increase. The Democrats claim to care about American families, but raising the gas tax or creating a vehicle miles traveled tax disproportionally hurts low and fixed-income households. Instead of focusing on growing the economy so Congress has the money to invest in infrastructure, the Democrats want to binge spend $4 trillion – money we don’t have as we approach $30 trillion in debt – on an untargeted infrastructure plan, and raise your taxes to pay for it. It makes no sense. It’s time for Biden and Buttigieg to face reality and resist unfair tax increases. You can invest in infrastructure while growing the economy and jobs. I know it’s possible because we did it when I was Governor of Florida. The Democrats need to stand up for American families and start following the proven economic playbook we created in Florida.”
