Democrats are for the 20%. Republicans 80%. It really is that obvious.
The differences between the two major American political parties are always revealed over the issue of tax cuts. There isn’t a better example than the spending plan that just passed the House of Representatives.
The one “big, beautiful bill,” as President Trump likes to call it, does an awful lot to improve the lives of all Americans. It unleashes domestic energy production, secures our border and cuts government spending by more than $1.5 trillion, but the tax cuts included will get much of the attention. It all passed without a single Democratic vote.
House Republicans made good on Mr. Trump’s promises to restore economic prosperity, provide new tax relief to hardworking Americans and continue the Trump tax cuts of 2017 that spurred the economy to great heights. Democrats, however, are headed in exactly the opposite direction. If they had the power to do so, they would raise taxes dramatically tomorrow and spend the money on leftist priorities.
Elections have consequences, as President Obama said, and Mr. Trump won the last one handily. So, instead of Democratic tax increases, we have fantastic news for every American who pays taxes.
This bill doesn’t just tinker around the edges of our broken system; it bangs it into shape to put American workers first. After years of Democratic policies prioritizing bureaucracy and bloat over hardworking citizens, it’s a long-overdue course correction.
At its core, the bill continues Mr. Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, stopping a looming tax increase that would have hit working-class families hard. Still, it offers a lot more.
The bill eliminates taxes on tips and overtime pay, two key Trump campaign promises. This means millions of Americans in hospitality, food service and hourly work will finally keep what they earn. These are the hard-earned dollars of waitresses, bartenders, construction workers and nurses pulling double shifts to support their families.
This change is transformative for the estimated 4 million American workers who rely on tips and the 80 million hourly employees in the U.S. It’s not just tax relief; it’s respect for labor.
The bill doesn’t stop there. It slashes taxes on Social Security benefits and allows the full deduction of auto loan interest on American-made vehicles. This incentive rewards patriotism and practical financial planning all at once. The bill also permanently doubles the child tax credit and closes loopholes that let illegal aliens claim that benefit.
The legislation cuts taxes for companies that manufacture and hire in the U.S., boosting American competitiveness. It will encourage investment in new factories, high-quality jobs and long-term domestic growth. It will prevent the loss of more than 6 million jobs, including 1.1 million manufacturing jobs, according to the National Association of Manufacturers. That’s not just policy; that’s economic patriotism.
Families will feel it where it matters most: the paycheck. The bill is projected to raise real annual wages by $2,100 to $3,300 per worker. For a median-income household with two children, that means an increase of $4,000 to $5,000 in take-home pay. That’s money for groceries, school supplies, gas and rent.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is the most worker-centered tax proposal in a generation.
