Taxes Are Due Today – And Republicans Want to Raise Yours

Republicans have a plan that could raise taxes on nearly 40% of North Carolinians

Today is Tax Day, and Republicans want to talk about anything but the fact that the GOP has backed a plan that could raise taxes on nearly 40% of North Carolinians – including many child care workers, teachers, first responders, and other working people across North Carolina. But North Carolina Democrats won’t let North Carolinians forget that while Democrats are working to cut families’ costs and make sure billionaires pay their fair share without raising taxes on anyone making less than $400,000 a year, Republicans want to raise taxes on working North Carolinians.

“Today is the last day for North Carolinians to file their taxes – and they deserve to know that if Republicans get their way, nearly 40 percent of North Carolinians could see their taxes go up,” said NCDP Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty. “The contrast is clear: While President Biden and Democrats have cut taxes for working families and laid out a plan to lower costs, Republicans are running on an agenda that would force you to pay more.”
