Weingarten Urges Voters to Back Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act

American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten urged voters Sunday to elect lawmakers who would pass the Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act, two days before the Nov. 3 federal general election. Weingarten argued that a tax cut for working-class households would help address affordability. The proposal would let eligible filers compare their regular federal income-tax liability with an alternative calculation and pay the lower amount. The alternative would cap the tax at 25.5% of modified adjusted gross income above a cost-of-living exemption that varies by filing status.
