But it also means higher wages for hardworking Americans. Not only will typical American households benefit from an $1,182 tax cut under our plan, but according to countless studies, average wages will increase by upwards of $4,000. You read that correctly: $4,000. That’s going to make Americans much more excited come payday, and a lot less stressed come tax day. Workers will see this raise thanks to our plan to slash the corporate tax rate and allow repatriation, which will help bring jobs and profits back home and level the playing field for our businesses. In fact, according to a new survey, nearly half of American manufacturers would increase wages if tax reform is enacted. That is exactly why the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is so important: It will help you earn more, and keep more of what you earn.
