Rep Brian Mast: Codifying Trump’s Tax Policies Crucial to Avoid Historic IncreasesPosted on May 21, 2025 Rep Brian Mast on Life, Liberty and Levin. “It’s signature for President Trump, but it’s signature for the House of Representatives and the Senate as well. This is our chance to go out there and say everything that we did back in 2017 in President Trump’s first term — cutting taxes, doubling the standard deduction for every family, doubling the Child Tax Credit, putting in something where small businesses can deduct 20 percent right off the top from their taxes so they keep more of what they earn, codify all of those things permanently into law. That’s a really big deal.Because if you don’t codify those things, they go away, and we have the largest tax increases on Americans in history.”
