Rep. Jason Smith, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Missouri’s 8th district since 2013, shared insights on social media about the benefits of "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill," focusing on tax cuts and economic growth.

On July 3, 2025, Smith stated that "66% of The One, Big, Beautiful Bill’s tax cuts benefit families making less than $500,000." This tweet highlights the intended financial relief for middle-income families under this legislation.

Later that day, he added that "The tax cuts and economic growth from The One, Big, Beautiful Bill will increase the take-home pay for a family of four by $10,900." This suggests significant improvements in disposable income for average American households as a result of the bill's provisions.

In another post on July 3rd, Smith mentioned that "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill preserves and boosts the standard deduction by up to $1,500 for working families, providing relief to 91% of American taxpayers." This measure is expected to alleviate financial burdens for a large majority of taxpayers across the nation.

Smith has been serving in Congress since succeeding Jo Ann Emerson in 2013. Prior to his congressional role, he was part of the Missouri House of Representatives from 2005 until his election to Congress. Born in St Louis in 1980 and currently residing in Salem, Smith holds degrees from both the University of Missouri and Oklahoma City University.
