Failure to reduce deficits will increase tax pressure for U.S. middle class, Jack Salmon warns
Budget deficit may push up U.S. taxes

Policymakers who hesitate to address budget deficits will cause U.S. middle class tax burdens to rise sooner than expected, according to Jack Salmon.

Salmon analyzes the implications of persistent deficit levels on American households, emphasizing that tax hikes could arrive earlier than many anticipate. The commentary highlights concern over fiscal policy and its direct impact on U.S. taxpayers.

Salmon has previously commented on migration trends related to tax policy. Recent tax data show high earners taking $1.2 billion out of Washington in 2023. The continued exodus has followed the state’s 2021 capital gains tax.
