Senator Marshall Pens Op-Ed in The Washington Times: We Must Deliver on President Trump’s Promise to End Taxes on Overtime

Washington – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas) today penned an op-ed in The Washington Times calling on Congress to quickly pass his bill, the Overtime Wages Tax Relief Act. This legislation would deliver on President Trump’s promise to provide relief for millions of hardworking Americans who work overtime. Senator Marshall is advocating for this bill to be included in the FY2025 budget reconciliation package.

Highlights from Senator Marshall’s op-ed include: 

“Like millions of other young people over the years, I became a Republican when I got my first paycheck at the age of 16. At the time, I worked at a sale barn in Kansas, sorting heifers and steers and cleaning up cow pens. I was stunned when I saw how much money the government was taking.

“Sometimes, I worked only eight hours on a Saturday, but on big sale days, I might work double that or more. In several instances, I worked 24 hours in a row.

“Despite the hard work and long days, I didn’t mind because I was getting time and a half. But you can imagine how disappointing it was to see the government take an even bigger, more disproportionate share of that wage. I’ll certainly never forget how it felt.

“I have no doubt that the same feeling persists every pay period for the millions of Americans working overtime. In many ways, we are still digging out from underneath the historic inflation of the Biden-Harris administration, which squeezed incomes to their breaking points.

“While President Donald Trump’s historic first 100 days have made a big difference for millions of Americans by lowering prices and making us safer, there are still more wins we can secure in Congress to help deliver for the American people.”
