What a return to GOP control over Congress will mean

Democrats across the country are denouncing the GOP's new plan to raise taxes on the majority of Americans should they win a majority in the 2022 midterm elections.

"All Americans should pay some income tax to have skin in the game, even if a small amount. Currently over half of Americans pay no income tax," the plan says.

While it is true that a majority of Americans did not pay any federal income tax in 2020 — while the pandemic shuttered much of the nation's economy — this claim is highly misleading.

Most of those people still paid Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes. Even those who did not — very low-income families and retired older Americans who no longer earn an income — likely supported the federal government through gasoline, alcohol, or tobacco taxes.
