FACT SHEET: Trump Hid Tax Breaks For Private Jets In His Big, Ugly Bill While Raising Costs For Working Families

By July 9, 2025No Comments

Trump’s bill already spelled doom for the finances and livelihoods of working families to pay for tax giveaways to the ultra-wealthy — but Republicans in Congress also quietly allocated billions of dollars in special favors to top earners, including allowing ultra-wealthy individuals to permanently deduct the full cost of private jets. Trump and Republicans have made it crystal clear where their priorities lie. As 17 million Americans lose health care, food assistance gets ripped away from millions, rural hospitals across the country close, energy bills rise, and the national debt skyrockets, private jet owners, coal industry executives, the gun industry, big drug companies, and more will get a steep taxpayer-funded discount on their tax bill. Learn all about the hidden handouts for the ultra-wealthy in Trump’s big, ugly bill:
