Republicans

The Republicans function as the primary political opposition, announcing a tax plan that holds rates steady for low-wage box unloaders and average public school teachers while granting $4,500 in relief to doctors earning $150,000. Will Bailey highlights this structure to underscore its lack of progressivity compared to the administration's approach, which returns money to lower earners, maintains physician taxes, and raises rates on CEOs making $16.4 million to fund college tuition deductions. Their initiative sharpens partisan divides over economic fairness and revenue distribution.
