This is The Torchlight, our weekly newsletter keeping you informed on the
fight to reignite the American Dream — and how you can make a difference in
your community.
📊 NEW Poll: Strong majority of Republicans and Democrats agree it’s the wrong
time to raise taxes.
AFP recently conducted a poll revealing strong support from Americans like you
forextending the 2017 Trump tax cuts
<[link removed]>
. This poll is part of our $20 million campaign dedicated to advocating for
their extension.
<[link removed]>
The results were clear: No matter what party they support, who they voted for,
or what their politics are, the majority of taxpayers don’t want a tax hike to
come at the end of the year.
* 95% of Republicans,
* 81% of independents,
* and 74% of Democrats...
All prefer taxes to stay the same.
Voters also expressed concerns that allowing these tax cuts to expire could
harmsmall businesses, middle-class families, and the broader economy.
Key Republican lawmakers, including House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate
Majority Leader John Thune, are working to solidify support for making the cuts
permanent, aiming to pass the necessary legislation by this summer.
Fortunately, this doesn’t just maintain the status quo on taxes. Steps are
being taken to take tax cuts even further.
If we want to cut wasteful spending in reconciliation, let’s start with the
Inflation Reduction Act. This act’s name is misleading, as it did nothing to
cut inflation and skyrocketed government spending.
Here’s the problem: With such narrow majorities in Congress and issues like
the state and local tax deduction and potential cuts to Medicaid, we can’t take
this for granted.
Some try to argue that these tax cuts are only for the rich, but that’s simply
not true (read to the bottom for some hard numbers).
Lawmakers like Speaker Johnson and Sen. Thune need to know that activists like
you have their backs to get this bill over the finish line as quickly as
possible.
If Congress delays, we might not see the expansions on tax cuts mentioned
above, and the bill might get so watered down that it minimizes the impact for
families.

Last week was Small Business Week!
At AFP, we’ve been sharing stories about small businesses that have expanded
thanks to the Trump tax cuts. Kent Strang, AFP’s managing director, just shared
about RF Buche, who runs a small chain of grocery stores in rural communities
that otherwise wouldn’t have great food access.

Rep. Lisa McClain joined Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich at AFP’s Freedom
Embassy in Washington, D.C. last week to discuss how Congress is working to
extend the 2017 tax cuts.
<[link removed]>
We heard from several small business owners on how the tax cuts have empowered
these folks to expand their operations and invest in their employees.
Did you know? When the tax cuts were first passed, we saw tremendous economic
growth.
* The U.S. added 5 million new jobs.
* Unemployment fell to 3.5% in 2019, the lowest since 1969.
* Inflation-adjusted median income reached an all-time high of $78,250.
We must extend the Trump tax cuts to keep this growth, expand our economy,
defend small businesses, which are the lifeblood of our communities, and expand
opportunities and freedom as families like yours pursue the American Dream.
