Sinema warns Dems: “I am unwilling to support any tax policies that would put a break on that type of economic growth, or stall business and personal growth for America’s industries.”
Speaking to the Arizona Chamber of Commerce, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) issued a warning to President Biden and congressional Democrats that she is opposed to tax increases:
“I had a couple guiding principles that still guide the work that I am doing today.
And first and foremost is that I will only support tax policies that promote growth and economic stability particularly during a time of coming through this pandemic, rising inflation, and what we think is a coming recession.
So I am unwilling to support any tax policies that would put a break on that type of economic growth, or stall business and personal growth for America’s industries.
So I retain that position. Everyone knows it. Some people aren’t happy about it.
But that’s my position. And so if conversations do start again – which I’m not sure if they will or not – I’ll be bringing that position back into the negotiations.”
Sinema also said:
“You all know, the entire country knows that I am opposed to raising the corporate income tax. That was true yesterday and it is true today.”
Biden continues to push $2.5 trillion in tax increases as called for in his new budget.
