New York Times Coddles Cass from Conservative Criticism

Washington, D.C. – After publishing his latest batch of socialist-sponsored talking points claiming American voters want the largest tax increase in our nation’s history, the New York Times is shielding Oren Cass from conservatives who have correctly refuted his alternate reality.  Despite being mentioned throughout the piece, Club for Growth President David McIntosh was not afforded the opportunity to set the record straight in the following Letter to The Editor:

Oren Cass again reminded America that he is neither an economist nor a conservative. In his latest leftwing sponsored grift, Cass categorically misinterprets the benefits of President Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Economists at Harvard, Princeton, and the University of Chicago found firms with larger corporate tax reductions increased capital investment by 20% and project a 7.4% increase in total U.S. capital stock thanks to TCJA. Similarly, economists from UCLA, the Joint Committee on Taxation, and the Federal Reserve saw significant increases in capital investments and employment levels following Trump’s TCJA.  American Enterprise Institute found growth in real GDP business investment after TCJA’s enactment exceeded previous expectations. Simply put, President Trump’s tax cuts delivered for the American economy.

Cass ignores TCJA’s benefits to American workers and effectively argues for the largest tax increase ever – which will happen if Congress does not extend Trump’s middle-class tax cuts. Tax Policy Center and the Heritage Foundation estimate the average taxpayer received a tax cut of roughly $1,500, which doubled for families of four, in 2018. 

Voters rejected Bidenomics in 2024 in favor of President Trump’s economic vision. To maintain and expand our majorities in 2026, Republicans must deliver on Trump’s priorities.
