EXCERPTS OF REMARKS
“Today is Tax Day. It's not a day that conservatives usually celebrate, but this year, it is a little bit different, and that is thanks to the Working Families Tax Cut, Big, Beautiful Bill, that are allowing individuals to keep a lot more of their hard-earned money.”
“Today is a day we should be mindful of the imperative that we should be good stewards of the taxpayer dollar.”
“During the Biden administration… every time you turned around, taxes were going up. Inflation was going up because taxes were going up, and government spending was going up.”
“Things have changed… Citizens are seeing more money stay in their pocketbook without having to send it to DC.”
“Almost half of the filers are claiming new tax breaks that were created in the Working Families Tax Cut.”
“I do want to highlight some of these provisions that our Democratic colleagues chose to vote against.”
“They voted against allowing you to have a $6,000 bonus deduction… 30 million seniors have already used that.”
“There are millions of workers who are seeing lower taxes on tips and overtime… Every single Democrat in this chamber – every single one – voted against that.”
“Now we also know that children that are born can do Trump Accounts. They're eligible for that $1,000 seed account… Every Democrat voted against their having that nest egg.”
“They also voted against the enhanced Child Tax Credit, which benefits more than 40 million American families.”
“[Democrats] think they should have the right of first refusal on your money. They think they know better what to do with your money than you do. They say, ‘Send more of it to DC, and we'll put it where we want it.’”
“As you fill out your tax form, remember the Democrats said you don't deserve it, they do. They want your money. They don't want you to keep your money.”
“They want that control. They want that power. They want to be able to say, ‘Give it to us. Let us decide what to do with your money.’”
“We should be grateful for President Trump's leadership. Without him, there would be no Working Families Tax Cuts.”
