Chuck Shumer flips the script, calling you selfish for wanting to keep more of what you’ve earned.

‌

But history tells a different story.

‌

When Americans have more control over their income, they generate real economic progress — not bureaucrats in Washington.

‌

The 2017 Trump tax cuts delivered direct relief to families and businesses and spurred a wave of state-level tax reforms. According to National Review, this federal policy created a blueprint for states to lower taxes, cut government waste, and reinvest in local communities.

‌

You’ve heard us say non-stop how extending the tax cuts will prevent your taxes from going up. But what if this policy not only saved families like yours thousands, but drove your tax saving even further?

‌

States like Arizona, Iowa, and North Carolina have recently used the foundation set by these federal tax cuts to slash their own income taxes, providing taxpayers with relief and giving businesses more room to grow.

‌

With federal taxes reduced, states had the flexibility to implement their own pro-growth strategies like reducing and reforming state income taxes, creating a ripple effect throughout the economy.

‌

If the Trump tax cuts expire, this momentum could stall.

‌

Higher federal taxes would not only take more from your paycheck but limit states' ability to continue their tax reforms.

‌

This is your chance to directly shape a more prosperous future. Tell your lawmakers to protect and extend these tax cuts. By doing so, we can ensure continued economic freedom and opportunity — not just from Washington, but in every state across America.

Sprankle’s Neighborhood Market, a family-owned grocer in Pennsylvania, turned challenges into triumph with the 2017 Trump tax cuts. These tax reforms gave them the resources to remodel, expand, and compete with larger chains.

‌

But Sprankle’s is more than just a small business. Their successes ripple outward, supporting 160 employees with competitive wages and health care, injecting over $100,000 annually into the community, and sustaining local farmers, charities, and nonprofits.

‌

Now imagine if businesses like Sprankle’s disappeared.

‌

When tax reforms expire, the ripple effect won’t just hurt this grocer, but also families, neighbors, and local economies. Job losses, reduced community support, and weakened purchasing power could impact you, your community, and opportunities for growth.

‌

Keeping these tax cuts in place isn’t just a policy decision — it’s a way to preserve the connections and opportunities that strengthen neighborhoods.
