To the editor: Let’s be clear: Stopping a tax enhance is just not the identical as making a tax reduce (“Republicans want to fool you into thinking a massive tax cut has zero costs,” April 7)! If Congress permits the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to run out on the finish of 2025, it received’t be enterprise as typical — it will likely be a tax hike for hundreds of thousands of middle-class households. Visitor contributor Thomas Kahn could dismiss this expiration as a “gimmick,” however when lawmakers handed the 2017 legislation, they knew full properly that letting it lapse would imply a big tax enhance — they usually assumed nobody would have the political will to let that occur.
