WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Tuesday, the Ways and Means Committee will markup “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill,” delivering on President Trump’s economic agenda and supporting pro-family, pro-worker tax provisions. The legislation builds on the success of the 2017 Trump tax cuts and carries out the very policies that America voted for, making the economy stronger, expanding tax relief for middle class and low-income Americans, and ushering in a new golden age of prosperity to benefit workers, families, farmers, and small businesses.
“This bill delivers on what Americans voted for with President Trump’s promise to put America First – with tax policies that reward hard work, bring jobs back home, increase opportunity, and rebuild the economy for the working class. It puts the interests of low-income, working families ahead of the wealthy by expanding tax relief to those who need it the most – including the President’s priorities of no tax on tips and overtime pay and additional relief for America’s seniors. Small businesses and family farmers will benefit from the certainty provided so they can invest in their futures and grow jobs.
“Under the economic policies of President Biden and Washington Democrats, the wealthy and well-connected benefitted from taxpayer handouts. The Ways and Means Republican tax bill ends special interest giveaways and will hold the woke elite and entities that benefit from the tax code accountable. It will halt the flow of taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants and China.
“We have an opportunity and a responsibility to secure a brighter future for America’s workers, families, farmers, and small businesses. The legislation that the Ways and Means Committee has brought forward meets this historic moment,” said Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08).
