J.D. Vance Doesn’t Want Ohio’s Working Families to Receive Tax Breaks
In an interview with Fox News, California Millionaire J.D. Vance called cutting taxes for middle-class families a “gimmick,” showing just how out-of-touch he is from the hardworking Ohioans who are struggling with rising costs.
It’s not the first time J.D. Vance has attacked tax cuts for working families. When asked about the Child Tax Credit in the American Rescue Plan that Congressman Tim Ryan and all Ohio Democrats voted in favor of, Vance said it only helps “on the surface.” The Child Tax Credit benefited 1.3 million Ohio families who received $300 per month per child that helped them put food on the table and pay for healthcare and childcare.
These aren’t the only out-of-touch comments Vance is having to defend recently. Vance was caught downplaying the results of bad trade deals that have cost Ohio over 130,000 jobs. Vance said, “I think you can make a pretty good argument that it was not necessarily bad trade deals… You know, it’s not that we have this terrible trade deal with China.”
Meanwhile, Tim Ryan has been advancing a tax cut for working people along with actions to curb inflation.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Ryan said it's important to prevent price-gouging but said the best thing the government can do is cut Americans' taxes.
"We have to make sure that there isn't price gouging going on. I think there are companies out there that are making money on the backs of working people because they can. And I think we've got to be very aggressive," Ryan said. "But I think the most important thing right now is a major, significant tax cut for working people," Ryan added.
