Congressman Taylor joins Speaker Johnson to highlight working families' tax cuts for Ohioans

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Dave Taylor (OH-02) recently joined Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN), and Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-MI) to highlight wins for Ohioans in the Working Families Tax Cut.
 
Congressman Taylor detailed how this America First bill will lower taxes for hardworking American families, make a historic investment in rural healthcare and small businesses, secure our Nation’s borders, and protect critical programs for vulnerable Americans.

“During the August work period, I spent time in Ohio’s Second Congressional District talking with local small business owners, farmers, and manufacturers about the issues that are most important to them," Taylor said.
 
"I heard over and over again how the Working Families Tax Cut is transforming the lives of hardworking Ohioans by lowering taxes so they can spend their hard-earned money on what they need, helping small businesses grow and develop, and revitalizing our main streets. As a third-generation small business owner, I know firsthand how a tough economy and skyrocketing taxes make it harder to turn a profit. When I popped into family-owned shops last month, store owners told me how grateful they were that the expanded 199A tax credit was the helping hand they needed to stay in business so they could maintain a presence in our communities." 
 
Beyond business, Ohioans made it clear that they don’t want illegal immigrants taking benefits that are meant for Americans in need. This is just Ohio common sense. The Working Families Tax Cut benefits vulnerable Americans so they can get back up on their feet while kicking off illegal immigrants who never should have received taxpayer benefits in the first place.
 
A common myth surrounding this bill is that it will shut down rural hospitals serving Americans across our country, and especially in my district. That is FAR from the truth. In rural regions like southern Ohio, this bill includes a historic $50 billion investment in rural hospitals, and when I spoke with local healthcare providers, they confirmed how critical this funding is in meeting their most rural patients’ needs, and they’re very pleased with the results.
 
For Will Minshall, a young farmer in Pickaway County, Ohio, whose family farm is hitting 200 years in operation next year, the increase in the Death Tax exemption, which is made permanent in the bill, means it’ll be easier for his family to pass the farm on to him and future generations. And with family farms making up 96% of all farms in my district, this is HUGE news for countless farming families in southern Ohio. That, combined with expanded funding for agricultural trade programs and investment in crop insurance, will give family farmers peace of mind about staying in the business for years to come.
 
I was also proud to see provisions of my USA CAR Act, which I cosponsored with Senator Moreno, included in the bill, which will create a tax deduction on the interest from the purchase of American-made cars. This will create thousands of jobs across our Nation, all while securing our Nation’s supply chains and invigorating our economy.
 
The Working Families Tax Cut is paving the way for economic prosperity for hardworking Americans, and Ohio families are reaping the benefits. I was proud to support it and will continue advocating for the needs of Buckeye families in Congress.”
