rick scott gets called out by fox news for lying about his proposed tax increases on half of American public
Roberts brought up Scott's plan on "Fox News Sunday," making specific mention of one provision that would lead to the end of Social Security and Medicare in as soon as five years.

Reading directly from the proposal, Roberts quoted, "All federal legislation sunsets in five years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again." Roberts pointed out that the plan could affect popular programs like Social Security and Medicare.
Turning to Scott, Roberts asked, "Why would you propose something like that in an election year?"
"That's, of course, the Democrat talking points," Scott answered, but was immediately interrupted by Roberts with, "No, it's in the plan! It's in the plan!"
Scott attempted to continue on his train of thought, but Roberts cut him off again: "Hang on, Senator. It's not a Democratic talking point. It's in the plan."
mitch mcconnell had this to say about scott's plan:
"We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare within five years," he said. "That will not be part of the Republican Senate Majority agenda."

Florida Sen. Rick Scott's plan for GOP control would also undermine aid for children, halt the nation's climate change response, sunset civil rights laws, and eliminate more than 2 million jobs.
Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R) released a plan on Tuesday outlining what his party would do if it wins congressional majorities in the midterm elections.
Under those proposals, millions of poor and retired families would see their taxes go up.

Instead, his plan would mean larger tax bills for those making less than $28,000 per year.

The first-term Republican senator is one of the richest people in Congress, with an estimated net worth of more than $259 million in 2018. He has backed efforts to make the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent for individuals — trying to extend former President Donald Trump's plan that helped millionaires and billionaires almost exclusively.
Scott's plan also bizarrely calls for a five-year "sunset" on all federal legislation, meaning that Congress — which struggles to even keep the government open — would have to reapprove every single law every five years.

This would put popular programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — as well as federal civil rights laws, family and medical leave protections, and even even rules governing federal highways — at risk of totally expiring twice each decade.
