Small Business Owners Rally Behind White House In Final Push For Big, Beautiful Bill

WASHINGTON—As the White House pushes the Senate to pass President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” they’ve gathered workers from across the country in support of the massive legislation.

In a video first obtained by The Daily Wire, subcontractors from Kansas to New Mexico and Mississippi voice support for the bill, arguing that it will create massive opportunities for the middle class, specifically through its tax breaks, such as the 199A tax deduction.

Not all the subcontractors are named, but they include Brad Miller, who runs the Kansas-based Midwest Crane; Robert Abney, one of the leaders of F.L. Crane and Sons, Inc. in Mississippi; Marni Goodrich, director of business operations at Yearout Mechanical in New Mexico, and others.

“The 199A tax exemption is very important to our small businesses to be able to reinvest that money in their small business and have job growth,” explains one of these subcontractors.

Another unnamed subcontractor calls on her peers to encourage their senators to let them know that they support the bill, saying, “Get out to your senators!”

“We need to unite, we need to get to our senators, we need to get out there, make our voices heard, and we have to get this bill onto the president’s desk and get it executed as soon as possible,” said Andrew Christ, co-owner of Compass Constructors.

The video comes as the White House pushes Congress to pass the bill by July 4. The House already passed the legislation — which is full of the president’s second-term priorities and promises — and it is now up to the Senate to advance the package.

The White House argues that the bill would deliver the largest tax cut in American history, putting an extra $5,000 into the pockets of Americans with a double-digit percent decrease to their tax bills. It would also, according to the White House, make Trump’s first-term tax cuts permanent; raise Americans’ take home pay by up to $13,300 and wages by up to $11,600; remove taxes on tips and overtime; provide funding to complete the president’s border wall and boosts Border Patrol and ICE agents on the frontlines; increase child tax credit to $2,500 per family, and more.

Critics argue that it would only add to the United States’ already massive budget deficit. The national debt, as of Thursday, sits at $36,213,581,723,797, according to the Treasury Department.
