Despite Halloween being long over, Katie Hobbs has decided to spend the Christmas season playing dress-up as a Trump-loving, tax-cutting, leader of the middle and working class.
On November 20th, Governor Hobbs released her so-called “Tax Cuts for Middle-Class Arizonans” plan. If some of these concepts sound familiar, that’s because every single provision in her plan was word-for-word copied straight out of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) tax package signed into law by President Trump on July 4th:
- Increase the standard deduction from $15,000 to $15,750 for single filers, $31,500 for joint filers – straight from the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB)
- Adding an additional $6,000 deduction for seniors over 65 – straight from the OBBB
- Deducting tipped income from taxable income – straight from the OBBB
- Deducting overtime income – straight from the OBBB
- Deducting car-loan interest on new American-made vehicles – again, right out of the OBBB
So, after spending months opposing the OBBB, trashing Congressional Republicans, and urging its defeat, Hobbs has now decided to pretend that it was her idea all along…
