It about doubles the number of Americans who are not paying income taxes, from about $30,000, I think, to maybe $60,000 in that range.
Well, the overall answer is on costs, no, right?
In fact, we're seeing costs go through the roof.
And as I've said before, including on your show, that includes his illegal tariff tax.
And he should give every American household that $1,700 back, and he should do it right now.
So costs are going through the roof.
And with this war in Iran, in addition to lives lost, we're, of course, seeing upward movement on pressure.
In the Republican tax bill, it's important to remember they called it the big, beautiful bill.
Beautiful for billionaires, pretty much sucked for everybody else.
I would have a different B adjective.
There were provisions in there that are going to expire in 2028 that did help some folks.
So, for example, no tax on tips, right?
No tax on overtime.
And my view is those individuals...
They should actually be getting a sustainable tax cut and actually a better tax cut.
And it makes no sense to say that somebody who's making $45,000 a year on tips should actually do better than somebody who's making $45,000, but not on tips.
And so our bill provides real relief and permanent relief to those folks.
Well, that's exactly right, because they say one thing and they always do another.
The billionaires got a permanent tax cut in their bill.
This no tax on tips provision expires in two years.
