One year ago, the Working Families Tax Cuts was signed into law. This historic legislation delivered the largest tax cut in American history, putting more money back into the pockets of hardworking Americans while protecting benefits for our most vulnerable citizens.

The results speak for themselves.

American families and workers have claimed more than $82 billion in individual tax relief through the Working Families Tax Cuts. During this past tax filing season, 97% of filers received a tax cut, despite every Democrat in Congress voting against the bill.

More than 35 million seniors have claimed the Enhanced Deduction for Seniors, with an average deduction of over $7,500. Nearly 40 million families have claimed the permanently expanded Child Tax Credit. More than 7.5 million workers have claimed No Tax on Tips, with an average deduction of over $7,000, while more than 29 million workers have claimed No Tax on Overtime, with an average deduction of over $3,100.

One of the provisions I fought hardest for in this bill protects our farmland from industrial-scale wind and solar development. Many readers know I have spent years working to end the taxpayer subsidies that encourage intermittent energy projects to replace productive American farmland.

After working with the White House to ensure this provision was included in the Working Families Tax Cuts, the deadline to end federal tax credit subsidies for new wind and solar projects that were not already under construction officially took effect on July 4th.

This is a major victory for taxpayers and our food supply. For years, Big Energy companies received federal subsidies that approached $50,000 per acre to cover productive farmland with industrial wind and solar projects, and you were footing the bill.

That's just crazy.

Instead, we should be investing in reliable baseload energy like nuclear power that strengthens our electric grid, protects our farmland, and helps lower energy costs for Wisconsin families.
