I need to thank Debbie for this

February 22, 2018

I would just like to take a moment to personally thank Debbie Mucarsel-Powell for letting everyone know that Carlos Curbelo “led the charge” in passing tax reform.

Unfortunately for her, South Floridians are starting to get vocal about how they are benefiting from that crumby Armageddon tax reform bill that Curbelo led the charge on.

“Democrats counting on an angry, anti-Trump vibe to propel them to victory in November’s congressional elections may be in for a surprise as voters begin to see the effects of last year’s tax overhaul in their paychecks.

But interviews with more than a dozen potential voters indicate that some are feeling more positive about the GOP thanks to their revamp of the tax code.

“Isabel Valencia, 34, said she’s seeing about an extra $50 a month from the tax cuts — no small sum for a mother of two earning $25,000 a year in a local pediatrician’s office. Valencia’s husband lost his job recently, so her family moved in with her brother. She didn’t vote in the 2016 elections because she said she doubted that her vote mattered.

“Yes, absolutely, it does encourage me to vote, and, yes, it makes it more likely to vote Republican,” Valencia said, referring to the tax cuts.

“The effects of the GOP tax overhaul are starting to trickle through the economy.”
