Joe Biden's plan to repeal President @realDonaldTrump's Tax Cuts & Jobs Act would hurt our economy:

—Average tax increase of $1,200, paychecks cut by ~$100/month
—The Child Tax Credit slashed in half
—GDP would shrink by 1.51%

Biden's vow to reverse the monumental tax reform legislation would erase progress made by the Trump administration for middle-class Americans. The presidential hopeful's rhetoric on tax reform shows that his priority lies with pandering to Democrats' far-left base rather than acting in the best interests of the American people.
