Americans for Prosperity-Florida (AFP) is holding small town halls throughout the state, promoting the benefits of the recently passed Trump tax bill.
Every Democrat in Congress voted against the One Big Beautiful Bill because it cut taxes and cuts spending. Since these are popular with the American people, the D’s are leveling false charges, what else is new?” said Florida state Director of AFP Skylar Zander.
AFP has laid out ‘myth vs reality” on where democrats are wrong about the bill.
Myth #1: “Only the wealthy benefited from the Trump tax cuts.”
FACT: This tired, misleading claim gets trotted out every time tax relief is on the table. But that doesn’t make it true. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act helped all Americans — not just a fortunate few. It lowered taxes across every income level and simplified
filing by doubling the standard deduction and adjusting it annually for inflation.
Myth #2: “The bill cuts Medicaid for people who rely on it.”
FACT: The reforms to Medicaid included in the One Big Beautiful Bill aren’t about cuts. They’re focused on fixing a broken system to better serve the people who need it most. Opponents call any reform a “cut,” but that’s wrong. Medicaid has expanded far beyond its original mission, straining resources and leaving vulnerable people behind.
Myth #3: “This bill explodes the deficit.”
FACT: Tax cuts have not driven budget deficits — out-of-control spending has.
Federal spending has more than tripled since 2001 — the last time the federal budget was balanced — jumping from under $2 trillion to nearly $7 trillion last year. The 2017 tax cuts sparked a massive economic boom, record-low unemployment, and rising incomes. Growth generates revenue and reduces reliance on government programs.
