S. Res. 65 · 118th Congress · Feb 15, 2023 · Lineage

RESOLUTION

That the Senate—
(1)
strongly opposes H.R. 25, the FairTax Act of 2023, which would impose an effective 30 percent sales tax on all goods and services, raising prices for hardworking families, seniors, and other individuals in the United States working to make ends meet;
(2)
supports the passage of a responsible tax cut that would actually benefit hardworking families and grow the middle class, while making the ultra-wealthy and billion-dollar corporations pay their fair share; and
(3)
opposes paying for any tax cuts with cuts to Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid, or cuts to pay and benefits for our servicemembers, veterans, or law enforcement.
