Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: Protecting Your Pocketbook and America's Economic Growth

Join American Potential host David From as he dives into a critical topic with Patrick Fleer, a tax policy fellow at Americans for Prosperity: the far-reaching impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) and its looming expiration in 2025. Passed in 2017, the TCJA delivered tax relief for individuals and businesses, incentivized investment, and simplified the tax code. But what happens if it expires without reauthorization? Patrick explains how tax policy affects everyday decisions, from saving for the future to investing in tools for tradespeople, and why a productive economy benefits all Americans. They discuss the broader economic impact of delayed consumption, the importance of a simplified tax code, and how targeted reforms like the TCJA can foster economic freedom and opportunity. Discover the real-world effects of tax policies on wages, businesses, and families. Learn why Congress must act to renew the TCJA and explore ways to take it even further, creating a tax system that empowers everyone. With economic freedom at stake, staying informed and engaged is more important than ever. Tune in to learn how good tax policies can unleash potential, support everyday Americans, and drive prosperity for all.
