U.S. Representative Mark Green (R-TN-07) introduced legislation on Thursday to require a 3/5 supermajority vote to approve any tax increases.
“It’s Tax Week and the Biden Administration is hard at work raising your taxes and driving your jobs overseas,” the statement released by Green’s office said.
Green’s proposed legislation is spurred by recent proposals offered by President Joe Biden. Biden has called for a dramatic increase in taxes as a part of his infrastructure bill — the “American Jobs Plan.” The proposal sends taxpayer funds to multiple categories outside the traditional definition of infrastructure — including child care and housing.
