NRMCA has joined dozens of business groups in sending a letter to Congress opposing the tax increases included in the Build Back Better Act. The letter cites recent estimates that show that more than $500 billion of the Build Back Better Act’s cost will fall on family businesses. The letter further urged Congress to reconsider significant spending at a time of historic inflation and urges Congress to instead address rising prices, labor shortages and ongoing supply chain issues.
The letter comes at a critical time as the White House is reportedly looking to slim down the $1.7 trillion package passed by the House in the face of continuing opposition from Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV). The revised package could drop a number of the social spending programs that Sen. Manchin opposed, including the child tax credit and paid leave. The White House has, however, denied these reports.
