A group of House Democrats have launched a bid to block President Donald Trump’s payroll tax deferral action, which lets workers put off paying some of their taxes when the impact of the COVID-19 recession is assumed to be most acute but which opponents claim is problematic because it saddles people with a higher tax bill later.
Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.), the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee’s Social Security subpanel, along with 20 of his Democrat colleagues, on Friday announced two initiatives—the Save Our Social Security Now Act and a Congressional Review Act resolution—both seeking to overturn Trump’s tax deferral.
