Taxing Americans on inflation may be the most absurd policy in the tax code and ending it could be Republicans’ strongest affordability argument heading into the election.
Before Election Day, ask one question:
Has my candidate signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge?
More than 1,400 elected officials and candidates have signed the Pledge.
Congressional Democrats who’ve signed?
Zero.
Oklahoma House Speaker @kylehilbert says the state’s recent income tax cuts are only the beginning.
Oklahoma lowered its top rate from 4.75% to 4.5%, simplified its tax code, and put the state on a path toward 0% income tax.

Ending the tax on inflation in capital gains is supported by:
The Republican Study Committee (189 Republican members of Congress) in their reconciliation plan.
Over thirty conservative/free market organizations.
Larry Kudlow. Speaker Gingrich.
In a given tax year, 30 million Americans have a capital gains filing. 75% earn less than $200,000
Fun fact: "If somehow absorbed into the United States, British citizens tell pollsters they believe the U.K. would rank among the top ten wealthiest states in the Union. In fact, it would be the poorest."
When timing is tight, the ability to move fast and scale matters.
In practice, that means getting something up quickly and turning it into real pressure while there’s still time to act.
Speak4 makes that possible. Good breakdown below.
In the spirit of Tax Day, here’s a story about a tax hike that didn't happen.
@taxreformer used Speak4 to stop a niche policy issue before it could dent US competitiveness.

Last night I spoke with Brad Smith @ALScyborg, the first person with ALS to have @neuralink implanted. He has his voice back through AI and can even make dad jokes again. Absolutely incredible technology changing lives and bettering humanity. Thank you @elonmusk!
Most people who use AI regularly are still dabbling. They open the chat window, ask a question, read the answer, and move on.
The leap to good results is smaller than most think. It mostly comes down to a few habits.
Policy and advocacy folks: what's one AI habit that has actually saved you time? https://t.co/vJ912bsNsH
This path to a not-terrible midterm now seems more plausible:
- Some kind of successful resolution on Iran
- Trump then goes to the Artemis splashdown
- America 250 good vibes
- Midterm convention
- Actually force Dems to take bad votes on things like deporting criminals
NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel.
Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. https://t.co/kit55jmmJ1
