Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) and Vice President JD Vance visited Peachtree City, Georgia, to highlight the effects of the One Big, Beautiful Bill’s Working Families Tax Cut. The legislation is credited by its supporters with increasing savings for families in Georgia and across the country.
According to Rep. Carter, families in Georgia are saving between $2,500 and $3,000 per year as a result of provisions in the bill that eliminate taxes on tips and overtime pay, provide tax relief for seniors, and extend tax cuts first enacted in 2017.
During his remarks, Rep. Carter criticized Senators Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and Jon Ossoff (D-GA), who both voted against the bill. “We’re here to celebrate the passing of a great piece of legislation, possibly the greatest piece of legislation that we have passed in Congress in decades – that is the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act. You as Georgians saved $3,000 thanks to that act. Jon Ossoff voted against that. He wanted your taxes to go up,” Rep. Carter said in his speech.“I want to thank Donald J. Trump for what he is doing for America. America First!”
Vice President JD Vance also spoke at the event about supporting American workers through tax policy changes: “We want to make it easier to build in America, we want to make it harder to build overseas. We want to make it easier to rely on our great American workers because we got a lot of them. American businesses ought to employ American workers, and we want to make it harder to employ foreigners to take those jobs from Americans who deserve them. And most importantly, if you’re working hard every single day right here in the United States, or if you’re building a business right here in the United States, you ought to have a tax code that rewards you instead of punishes you, and that’s what happened when we passed the Working Families Tax Cut just a couple of months ago,” Vice President JD Vance said in his speech.
The event comes amid reports that companies have invested $8.1 trillion into U.S.-based projects under current federal policies.
Rep. Buddy Carter has won several recent elections by significant margins; most recently he defeated Patti Hewitt in 2024 with 62% of the vote.
