Senator Marshall on Fox Business: No Tax on Overtime Is Good for Hardworking Americans

Washington – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas) today joined Kudlow on Fox Business to discuss the Overtime Wages Tax Relief Act, the bill he introduced today to cut taxes on overtime wages and deliver on one of President Donald Trump’s key promises to give tax relief to lower and middle-class American workers.

Senator Marshall also discussed the “No Tax on Tips” proposal and the timeline for the Senate to get President Trump’s “One, Big, Beautiful” budget reconciliation bill across the finish line.

Highlights from Senator Marshall’s interview include:        

On the Overtime Wages Tax Relief Act:

“We have to get his One Big, Beautiful Bill across the floor, and we have to prioritize President Trump’s priorities, which includes this no tax on overtime. This is something good for hard-working Americans, those people who bring a lunch pail to work.

“Look, we’re going to limit it to their first $10,000 for an individual, $20,000 for a couple. What that could mean is $4,000 more of take-home pay for those people out there who are working extra hard to make this economy grow.

“I think it could be something that actually improves the growth of America. We have numerous jobs back home that we can’t fill because we don’t have enough people, at least, who are qualified to do them. This will give us a chance for them to make a little extra money and also put some money back into the economy.”

On ensuring Americans can keep more of their hard-earned money:

“I remember my first job. I was actually working in a sale barn, sorting heifers and steers. We would work 12-16 hours a day, and we got that overtime check. And to my surprise, the government was taking out more than they did on the other part of it, and it never made any sense to me. So, it is a big chunk of change. Again, a person may be making $80,000-$100,000 a year if they get to keep $4,000 more of their hard-earned money, then that’s a win for hard workers across the country.”

On No Tax on Tips:

“We’re going to get that one across the finish line… We need to keep the price tag, I think, on my overtime wages, under $100 billion over 10 years. And I’m going to guess the no tax on tips is the same place as well, but President Trump wants it. He is the person that’s signing this bill, so we get to use his priorities, and I’m looking forward to making that happen.”

On getting President Trump’s “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” across the finish line:

“I think the next step is for the House to give us what they can get passed. I think the big issue for them is, how much are they willing to cut on the spending. They need to probably get to $2 trillion of… savings for Americans in order for us to accomplish all of President Trump’s goals.

“When we see that, then we can move much more quickly. We got to be prepared, though, for whatever different softballs or fastballs they throw at us. I still think our goal is to get something to the president’s desk by July the fourth.”
