Dem rep says refunds are low because GOP tax policy doesn't benefit most Americans
Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) on Thursday told Hill.TV that tax refunds are down because the economy is not benefitting the average American.
"When you look at it now, we look at the number of individuals who aren't working, they're not bringing as much money in," Beatty, who sits on the House Financial Services Committee, told hosts Krystal Ball and Shermichael Singleton on "Rising."
Early data released from the IRS this week showed that taxpayers were receiving lower tax refunds this year.
The report for the week ending Feb. 1 showed that refunds were 8.4 percent lower than last year.
Beatty pointed specifically to stagnation, unemployment, and women making less on the dollar.
