Liberal States Blocking Historic Tax Cuts for Hardworking Americans

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

WASHINGTON – U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent issued the following statement today regarding the ongoing refusal by several Democrat-led states to conform to key provisions of the July 4th bill that President Trump signed into law to deliver historic tax relief for American families and workers:

President Trump’s tax cuts bill is the most pro-worker, pro-family legislation in a generation. It puts more money directly into the pockets of hardworking Americans through No Tax on Tips for dedicated service industry staff, No Tax on Overtime for linemen and factory workers, and a new tax deduction for seniors who depend on Social Security.

Yet in a blatant act of political obstructionism, liberal strongholds like Colorado, New York, Illinois, and the District of Columbia are deliberately blocking their own residents from receiving these historic benefits at the state level. This partisan stonewalling is a direct assault on the very families and workers liberal politicians claim to champion. By denying their residents access to these important tax cuts, these governors and legislators are forcing hardworking Americans to shoulder higher state tax burdens, robbing them of the relief they deserve and exacerbating the financial squeeze on low- and middle-income households.
