GOP lawmaker called hiking taxes on poor families a 'significant win'

By Dan Desai Martin - October 17, 2018

Pennsylvania's Mike Turzai lavished praise on the unpopular Republican tax scam even though it hikes taxes on working families.

Pennsylvania House Speaker Mike Turzai (R) actually claimed that it was a “significant win” to hike taxes on millions of Pennsylvania families — a gaffe that might convince many voters not to send him back to Harrisburg.

Turzai may have coasted to a landslide victory just two years ago, but now he’s struggling in a tight re-election battle with Democrat Emily Skopov in the 28th House District.

His tone-deaf views on the economy might be one reason why.

Last year, Republicans in Congress passed a tax scam that lavished billions on Wall Street banks while leaving poor and middle-class families in the cold. It was, and still is, deeply unpopular with voters.
