Hillary Clinton on Tax Reform


NY share of federal taxes is too high

I will be on your side for a fair share for New York. It is wrong that New York sends $15 billion more in taxes each year to Washington than New York gets back. That’s a big reason local property taxes are so high. We can change that working together.

Just Say No to GOP tax plan

The [Republican Congressional tax plan] is a risky, short-sighted tax scheme. I call on the people of New York to let Congress know that what they are doing is just wrong. I want to make it clear that New York will not stand for this kind of irresponsible behavior out of Washington.

GOP tax plan would hurt New York’s students

The [Republican Congressional tax plan] will cut education in New York by more than $1.5 billion. And that will translate into fewer teachers, fewer children in Head Start, and fewer college opportunities for New Yorkers trying to afford college.
