Americans for Tax Reform

Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) stands firmly against any tax hikes as a fundamental belief. We advocate for a tax system that is straightforward, fair, transparent, and lower than current rates. We think that the government's influence over people's lives comes from its ability to impose taxes, and we believe that this influence should be reduced. ATR was established in 1985 by Grover Norquist at the invitation of President Reagan.

3 weeks ago | atr.org | Isabelle Morales

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has a long history of bad scoring. In recent history, as this post highlights, the CBO has been caught underestimating corporate revenues after the passage of TCJA by over $100 billion, underestimating the cost of Biden’s green new deal subsidies by hundreds of billions of dollars, and using erroneous methods to calculate insurance coverage. Notably, when the CBO gets it wrong, the scoring is always in the Left’s favor.

This morning, in a huge victory for the American people, House Republicans passed the One, Big, Beautiful Bill (OBBB) Act. The bill will now move to the Senate, where it will face more scrutiny.

1 month ago | atr.org | Isabelle Morales

As the construction of this year’s reconciliation bill ramps up, Americans for Tax Reform urges members of Congress to take a well-measured approach to its healthcare provisions: improving on Medicaid and rejecting leftist price control measures. While some have been concerned about how the mainstream media will cover conservative Medicaid improvements, it is important to remember that Democrats will villainize this bill regardless of what is in it.

1 month ago | atr.org | Isabelle Morales

Today, Americans for Tax Reform, with 31 other free market groups and advocates, released a coalition letter in support of repealing the Inflation Reduction Act’s green new deal subsidies in this year’s reconciliation bill.

Originally scored at $370 billion over ten years, these provisions are now projected to cost north of $1 trillion over a ten-year window.
Able-Bodied, Unemployed Adults Have Overrun the Medicaid Program

2 months ago | atr.org | Isabelle Morales

Medicaid – a program designed to help pregnant women, the disabled, the elderly, and children – has become overrun with able-bodied, unemployed adults. Today, a plurality of Medicaid spending goes towards able-bodied adults, with 62 percent of them not working, seeking education/training, nor volunteering. Not only does this push Medicaid spending into overdrive, but it depresses employment, subverts care away from those who need it most, and is an unpopular allocation of resources.
