Democrats are…well, a mess. Their party is in the midst of a civil war pitting old school liberals and moderates against the surging left-wing craziness of the ‘democratic socialists.’ But beyond that, the party’s priorities are decidedly anti-American and anti-working class. All of them sought to raise everyone’s taxes by voting against making President Trump’s first-term tax cuts permanent. That tax cut package also included no taxes on tips or overtime.
Trump signed that bill into law almost one year ago – July 4, 2025. And the vast majority of American workers have been able to keep more of their hard-earned money as a result.
In April, millions of Americans filed their taxes and discovered that refunds had increased by 11 percent, with the average refund exceeding $3,400. This includes 25 million taxpayers who took advantage of the No Tax on Overtime provision, six million who benefited from the No Tax on Tips, and 27 million who claimed the No Tax on Social Security.
Additionally, 12 million small business owners experienced an average tax reduction of $7,000. Families with children born between 2028 and 2028 are also eligible for $1,000 government contributions to Trump Accounts, which will help their children start off on solid financial footing.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) said at the time that it was proof that Republicans’ “pro-growth, pro-worker policies deliver.”
Did I mention that every House Democrat voted against the tax cuts? I think I did. Now, a year later, the NRCC is rolling out a campaign to remind everyone of that fact:
“One year ago today, President Trump and Republicans passed big tax cuts for working families,” the ad says. “There’s more to do, but the real question, whose plan works better for you?”
“Republicans lowered taxes on the working class, stopped welfare for illegals, more jobs for Americans,” the ad continues. “But Democrats want to take it all away. Their plan? You pay thousands more. Inflation, higher gas prices, open borders. The choice is clear: Republicans keep fighting to lower our costs.”
The ad is spot-on. Democrats do want to repeal the Working Families Tax Cuts.
Arizona congressional candidate Amish Shah has called the Working Families Tax cuts “abominable” and called for their “wholesale repeal.”
Wholesale repeal. That would literally mean a massive tax increase. Like Trump or not, I’m betting most Americans aren’t fans of that.
“One year later, the contrast for America couldn’t be clearer,” said NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella. “Republicans put more money back in Americans’ pockets with bigger refunds, lower costs, and historic tax relief. Democrats voted to raise taxes on working families after fueling historic inflation, and they’d do it again if they get the chance.”
