How much does heiress Kim Myers want to raise taxes?

May 10, 2016

Does NY-22 candidate and heiress Kim Myers support the Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton plan to raise taxes on New York families?

Clinton wants to raise taxes by $498 million over the next decade, which will reduce the GDP by 1% and cost 311,000 jobs.  Sanders wants to raise taxes by $13.6 trillion – a plan including a $4,700 per year tax on middle class households – that will decrease the GDP by 9.5% and cost 5.973 million jobs.

Since Sanders wiped the floor with Clinton in NY-22 in the presidential primary, will Myers join her Democratic base in embracing the Sanders plan to raise taxes, or will Myers snub NY-22 Democrats by warmly embracing Hillary Clinton’s tax hike plan instead?

NRCC Comment: “Kim Myers should say whether she would support the tax hike plan of Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders if she were somehow elected to Congress.  Voters deserve to know just how much Kim Myers and Democrats want to raise taxes on New York families.” -NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
