FreedomWorks Statement in Response to President Trump’s Signature of Payroll Tax Cut Executive Order

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to President Trump’s decision to sign an executive order providing for a payroll tax cut, Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks President, commented:

“As recently as the past week, critics of the President thought that a payroll tax cut was done for. President Trump has shown them wrong. This payroll tax cut will provide hard working Americans and businesses the financial relief they deserve. In particular, this payroll tax cut will benefit frontline workers who have worked tirelessly throughout this pandemic. It is unfortunate that Congress could not take the reins and come to an agreement to deliver relief, but this executive order is a step in the right direction towards getting the American economy back on track.”
