As New Yorkers Feel the Squeeze on Tax Day, House Republicans Leave Working Families to Fend for Themselves
Despite Platitudes and Empty Promises, New York House Republicans Have Continued to Fight for Corporations and the Ultra-Rich
NEW YORK — Today, April 15th, millions of New Yorkers will file their 2023 taxes ahead of the midnight deadline. Despite recent positive economic trends, many New Yorkers are still feeling the squeeze of high prices. While empty promises from Washington are a dime a dozen, recent attempts by House Republicans to give tax relief to corporations and protect ultra-wealthy tax cheats make this year’s platitudes particularly hard to swallow.
Maria Martinez, Executive Director of Empire State Voices, released the following statement:
“New York Representatives Anthony D’Esposito, Marc Molinaro, and Brandon Williams all talk a good game. But when it comes down to it, they’ve voted time after time to advance the interests of big corporations and the ultra-wealthy. They’ve voted for billions in tax breaks to large oil and gas companies, have tried to make it easier for rich tax cheats to avoid paying their fair share, and have left the hardworking families of New York to fend for themselves. If these representatives want to advocate for the people of New York in Congress, they should consider fighting to make life a little better for all of us, not just their rich buddies at the very top.”
