Paul cited an analysis by the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center that showed that taxes for a slew of middle-class Americans could increase over 10 years under the new framework.
"This is a GOP tax plan? Possibly 30% of middle class gets a tax hike? I hope the final details are better than this," Paul tweeted along with a link to the TPC analysis.
