Arizona was one of the epicenters of the Biden inflation years. Our working middle class got poorer, and wages are just now starting to catch up. That is the reality.

The biggest tax Biden and the left imposed was inflation. Arizona got crushed. By the end of it, we came in number two in the country in how hard inflation had hit working people. Families in this state watched prices run ahead of paychecks while Biden and the left in Washington acted like people were too dumb to notice.

That is one of the reasons I fought for the Working Families Tax Cuts. We used the tax code to drive wage growth, let people keep more of what they earn, and create the kind of stability that produces real economic growth.

For Arizona families, the numbers matter. We are talking about roughly a $6,800 real wage increase and about $7,400 to $10,600 more in take-home pay for the average family. We locked in the 20% deduction for 514,000 small businesses. We put in a $6,000 bonus deduction for seniors in the middle-income range. We increased the child deduction for 822,000 Arizona families. I thought that was something the left actually liked.

Arizona families already lived through those years. They paid for them in real life. This was about putting some of that money back in their paycheck and making life a little more even for the people who got hit the hardest.

The left is still attacking tax relief. They learned absolutely nothing.
