Rep. Jason Smith, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Missouri’s 8th district since 2013, recently shared a series of tweets discussing a significant legislative development known as the "One, Big, Beautiful Bill." This bill is being presented as a major tax reform effort.

On July 3, 2025, Rep. Smith tweeted about the specifics of the bill: "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill eliminates income taxes on up to $25,000 of tips for the 4 million tipped workers, boosting incomes of tipped workers by $1,300." The legislation aims to provide financial relief to tipped workers by exempting part of their earnings from taxation.

Later that day, Smith highlighted his appearance on Newsmax to discuss the implications and benefits of this legislative initiative: "ICYMI: Yesterday, I joined @NEWSMAX to discuss President Trump's One, Big, Beautiful Bill and how House Republicans are delivering for working-class Americans." He invited followers to watch his discussion through a provided link.

In another tweet posted shortly after his Newsmax announcement, Smith described the bill's broader significance: "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill is the largest tax cut in American history." This statement underscores the scale and impact that supporters believe the bill will have on American taxpayers.

Smith was born in St Louis in 1980 and currently resides in Salem. He holds a BS from the University of Missouri and earned a JD from Oklahoma City University. Before joining Congress in 2013 after replacing Jo Ann Emerson, he served in the Missouri House of Representatives from 2005.
