众议院周三通过一项法案,旨在阻止华盛顿特区政府阻止唐纳德·特朗普总统新税法中针对小费和加班费工人减税部分的实施。
华盛顿特区进步派市议会通过了一项本地措施,由于特朗普的《美好大法案》可能会削减城市收入,因此计划阻止其部分条款生效。
被阻止的政策包括特朗普对小费和加班费免税的政策,以及针对企业的某些减税措施。
该法案由得克萨斯州共和党众议员布兰登·吉尔牵头。他告诉福克斯新闻数字版记者,他预计不会有任何民主党人支持他的法案。该法案以215票对210票的绝对党线投票结果在众议院通过。

“共和党希望更多的钱进入工人阶级家庭的手中和口袋,而民主党希望这笔钱留在政府手中,”吉尔表示。
作为联邦特区,华盛顿特区通常与联邦税法的大部分内容保持一致。
但包括无投票权代表埃莉诺·霍尔姆斯·诺顿(D-D.C.)在内的地方官员表示,全面实施特朗普的减税法案将使该市损失6亿美元收入。

“这项决议简直是对华盛顿特区前所未有的蓄意行政和财政破坏,”诺顿在一份声明中表示。
但包括吉尔在内的共和党人辩称,首都的进步派官员出于政治原因阻挠特朗普的标志性立法,损害了工人阶级居民的利益。
“每当我们通过那项税法时,我们都期望华盛顿特区能够遵守这些[税收条款]。不幸的是,他们决定试图脱离这些条款,”吉尔说。
“举几个例子,你有小费免税、社会保障免税、加班费免税,以及各种促进增长、有利于企业的税收条款,而他们却决定要与之脱钩。所以我们认为,这是华盛顿特区的糟糕政策,我们要阻止他们。”

根据1973年《华盛顿特区自治法案》,国会有权推翻华盛顿特区制定的大多数地方法律。
然而,如果参众两院都通过,共和党人的这项法案可能会使已经开始申报年度所得税的华盛顿特区居民的纳税季节变得复杂。

House GOP moves to block DC from stopping Trump tax cuts for tipped, overtime workers
The legislation is led by Rep Brandon Gill, a Republican from Texas

The House of Representatives passed a bill on Wednesday aimed at stopping the Washington, D.C., local government from blocking parts of President Donald Trump’s new tax law.
D.C.’s progressive city council passed a local measure to stop certain parts of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act from going into effect due to their expected effect of cutting city revenues.
Policies that would have been blocked include Trump’s elimination of taxes on tipped and overtime wages, as well as certain tax cuts aimed at businesses.
The legislation was led by Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, who told Fox News Digital he did not expect any Democrats to support his bill. It passed the House entirely along party lines in a 215 – 210 vote.

“Republicans want more money to be in the hands and in the pockets of working-class families, and Democrats want that money to be in the hands of government,” Gill said.
The D.C. government generally conforms with large swaths of the federal tax code, as a federal territory itself.
But according to local officials, including non-voting Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., enacting the full Trump tax bill would amount to a $600 million revenue loss for the city.

“This resolution is nothing short of unprecedented and deliberate administrative and fiscal sabotage of D.C.,” Norton said in a statement.
But Republicans, including Gill, argue that the capital’s progressive officials are blocking Trump’s signature legislation for political reasons at the cost of working-class residents.
“Whenever we passed that tax law, we expected Washington, D.C., to conform to those [tax provisions. And unfortunately, they decided that they were going to try to separate from them,” Gill said.

“So to give you a few examples, you have no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime pay, a variety of pro-growth, pro-business tax provisions that they decided they wanted to decouple from. So what we’re saying is, we think that that’s bad policy on D.C.’s part, and we’re gonna stop them.”

Congress has the ability to overturn most local laws set by D.C. thanks to the District of Columbia Home Rule Act of 1973.
If passed by both the House and Senate, however, Republicans’ bill could complicate the tax season for D.C. residents who have already begun filing for their annual returns.
