Representative Michelle Fischbach of Minnesota said that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act provides meaningful tax relief to middle-class Americans while opposing Democratic tax hike proposals. The statement was made on the social media platform X.

"I voted for One Big Beautiful bill for the people of," said Fischbach. "The average income is $70,000 – NOT for billionaires. The average American will benefit from these tax cuts. Every family will feel the pain of tax hikes if the Democrats get their way."

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), passed by the U.S. House in May 2025, proposes extensive tax and policy changes. These include permanent extensions of Trump-era tax cuts, new child tax credits, a remittance tax, and a rollback of clean-energy incentives. According to Time Magazine, the bill also introduces a $2,500 "Trump Account" for every newborn and includes significant spending cuts to Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The package reflects the Republican Party's 2025 legislative priorities focused on tax relief and fiscal restraint.

An analysis by the Yale Budget Lab indicates that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act would reduce after-tax income for the bottom 80% of households while increasing income for the top 1%. The poorest 10% of Americans could see a 6.5% decline in income due to benefit reductions and remittance taxes, whereas wealthier households might experience gains of 1.5%. These distributional impacts raise concerns about equity in the bill's tax relief structure.

A report from The Washington Post, citing the Congressional Budget Office, found that the One Big Beautiful Bill would provide an average annual tax cut of $12,000 to the top 1%, while costing the bottom 10% approximately $1,600 per year. This nonpartisan analysis suggests that middle-income households would receive modest relief of around $815, but most benefits are directed towards high earners. These findings reinforce claims that the bill disproportionately favors wealthy individuals.

Fischbach is currently serving as the U.S. Representative for Minnesota’s 7th District and has been in Congress since 2021. According to Congress.gov, she previously served as Minnesota’s lieutenant governor and state Senate president. She is a member of several House Committees including Ways and Means, Budget, Rules, and Ethics, supporting conservative fiscal policies such as those outlined in the One Big Beautiful Bill’s tax cut provisions.
