PARMA HEIGHTS, OH - Today, Congressman Jim Renacci showed Ohioans his true priorities, putting himself and his fellow millionaires before working families by voting for extended tax breaks for the super-rich, while voting to end targeted tax credits for middle-class families.
"Make no mistake, when Jim Renacci talks about tax cuts, he's not talking about you and your family, he's talking about himself, his millionaire friends, and Washington special interests," said Sutton. "I voted today to extend tax cuts for middle-class families because working Ohioans deserve a chance at the American Dream, and can help put our economy back on track."
While Sutton voted to extend tax relief for every working family, Renacci voted to end the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which impacts 11 million American families. According to the National Economic Council, a millionaire, like Jim Renacci, would receive an average tax break of $160,000 under the Renacci-plan.
Renacci's efforts to avoid paying taxes isn't new, in 2000 he failed to pay $1.4 million in back taxes, interest and penalties for misreporting his income. While he was eventually forced to pay the taxes, a spokesman at the time said Renacci was, "proud of his fight" to refuse to play by the rules and pay his taxes.
