Mike Johnson pours cold water on calls to hike taxes on the rich, despite Trump telling GOPers he’s open to it
"House Speaker Mike Johnson is pouring cold water on the prospect of Republicans hiking taxes on the rich to help pay for President Trump’s “big, beautiful” agenda package.
Despite Trump previously telling Republicans that he is open to a tax increase for the wealthy, Johnson (R-La.) argued that he’d prefer to find payfors elsewhere and underscored that the GOP needs to hustle on finishing the Trump agenda bill due to bond market jitters.
“I’m not a big fan of doing that,” Johnson told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” when asked about ratcheting up taxes on the rich. “We’re the Republican Party and we’re for tax reduction for everyone. So, I mean, that’s a general principle that we always try to abide by.”"
