Washington, D.C. — In response to Donald Trump’s remarks at a Florida roundtable on tax cuts, Not One Penny spokesperson Tim Hogan released the following statement:

“While Donald Trump didn’t literally throw his remarks away this time, he might as well have. On the heels of corporations announcing more record profits, Floridians want to know why Trump and the GOP have given away the bank to those who need help the least, while they suffer from increasing health care costs.”

Key facts on the impacts of the TrumpTax in Florida:

• 873,500 Floridians will lose health insurance under the TrumpTax

• Roughly 1 in 3 Floridians will see a tax increase thanks to the TrumpTax when this law is fully phased in

• This year the average tax hike for Floridians who are getting a tax hike will be $410

• This year, 1,457,260 Floridians will see no change to their taxes
