A trio of freshmen congressmen introduced a House resolution opposing a national sales tax saying it would hurt working Americans who are already struggling financially.

Reps. Eric Sorensen (D-Ill.), Wiley Nickel (D-N.C.), and Brittany Pettersen (D-Colo.) announced the resolution on March 8, saying they instead favor a tax cut to benefit the middle class.
