AFP Launches $20 Million Tax Cuts Campaign

Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a Koch-backed conservative group, has initiated a $20 million campaign to advocate for the extension of the 2017 Trump-GOP tax cuts, claiming they benefit 'hardworking Americans' and small businesses. Despite being described as a 'grassroots' movement, the campaign primarily aims to protect tax cuts that disproportionately favored the wealthy and large corporations, based on evidence from various analyses. The campaign includes a 60-second ad warning of economic disaster if the tax provisions expire as scheduled at the end of the year. Critics argue that the tax cuts have not helped the working class, with the top 1% receiving significant benefits. AFP's campaign is set to include extensive outreach efforts, such as meetings with congressional offices and grassroots events across all 50 states. The initiative reflects a broad conservative effort to align with President Trump's legislative agenda as he prepares for another term.
