Speaking in a major announcement, Karoline Leavitt gave American workers, seniors, and the middle-class great news as she released details on President Donald Trump’s ambitious tax cut priorities, promising the most extensive middle-class tax relief package in U.S. history, bringing the promises that President Trump made during his campaign to reality.
Her comments on the matter came when speaking to reporters outside the White House on February 6, Leavitt emphasized that President Trump is fully committed to working alongside congressional Republicans to deliver substantial tax cuts. Priorities include eliminating taxes on tips, seniors’ Social Security benefits, and overtime pay, which directly benefit everyday American workers.
Amongst those other tax ideas to help the middle class that Leavitt outlined were adjusting the State and Local Tax (SALT) cap to relieve pressure on middle-income families, eliminating special tax breaks for billionaire sports team owners, and closing the controversial carried interest loophole. Further, the administration is pushing for significant tax cuts on products manufactured in America, bolstering domestic jobs and economic growth.
She delivered her announcement to the press by outlining President Trump’s top priorities. Leavitt declared, “These are the tax priorities of the Trump administration that the President has laid out for members in that meeting today. No tax on tips, which is obviously the Republican campaign promise the President made. No tax on Senior Social Security, no tax on overtime pay, renewing President Trump’s 2017 middle-class tax cuts.
