To the editor: Let’s be clear: Stopping a tax enhance will not be the identical as making a tax lower (“Republicans want to fool you into thinking a massive tax cut has zero costs,” April 7)! If Congress permits the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to run out on the finish of 2025, it received’t be enterprise as standard — it is going to be a tax hike for thousands and thousands of middle-class households. Visitor contributor Thomas Kahn might dismiss this expiration as a “gimmick,” however when lawmakers handed the 2017 legislation, they knew full nicely that letting it lapse would imply a big tax enhance — and so they assumed nobody would have the political will to let that occur.
