FIRST ON FOX: In the heartland of the working class, Rep. Houchin, who led budget negotiations for Trump's "big, beautiful bill" on three major committees, including the House Rules, Budget and Energy and Commerce committees, emphasized the financial benefits of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes Trump's "No Tip Tax" policy.
"More money staying in our pockets every day, enabling us to pay down debt, save, and meet our daily obligations" - Weir's perspective on the triumphs of the "No Tip Tax" policy
Trump is seeking to deliver on his key campaign promises through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which encompasses tax exemptions on tipped wages and overtime pay, extending Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and tax cuts on Social Security benefits. If passed, this legislation will adopt a groundbreaking approach to the hospitality industry by abolishing the federal income tax on tips.
REPUBLICANS RALLY AGAINST "BLATANTLY FALSE" DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS ABOUT MEDICAID REFORM IN TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'
The House passed Trump's "big, beautiful bill" by one vote last month, and ongoing deliberations among Senate Republicans are focused on passing their version by the self-imposed July 4 deadline. This bill has sparked a significant wave of optimism among small business owners and workers, according to SBA administrator Kelly Loeffler.
"Meeting folks from Indiana to Maine, I've heard a common resounding cry for the One Big Beautiful Bill after four years of failed Biden policies," Loeffler shared with Fox News Digital.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act aims to bring transformative change to the nation by implementing tax cuts, immigration reform, energy policy improvements, and welfare reform - a sweeping blueprint for a prosperous future.
While The Senate independently passed a bill last month to establish a new tax deduction on up to $25,000 for tips, it is worth noting that there are key differences between this standalone bill and the House's megabill version. The crucial differences revolve around deduction limits, eligibility criteria for tipped workers, and treatment of independent contractors.
In summary, the "No Tip Tax" policy is shaping up to be a potential game-changer for the working class, with the aim of keeping more money in the pockets of service workers. The proposed bill is a critical step towards addressing the financial struggles faced by hardworking Americans in the hospitality sector, while unlocking greater prosperity for both small business owners and employees alike.
