Senator John Kennedy has recently made a series of statements on social media regarding tax policy, legislative actions, and public figures. His comments focus primarily on the implications of taxation and recent legislative developments.

On July 10, 2025, Kennedy expressed his views on taxation and its effects on economic behavior. He stated, “When you tax something, you get less of it. If you don’t want businesses to expand, tax the hell out of them. If you don’t want people to work, take their money. That’s why it’s so important that we passed the One Big Beautiful Bill and blocked a $4.3 trillion tax hike.”

Later that day, Kennedy commented on former government officials James Comey and John Brennan. He remarked, “I know James Comey and John Brennan. Neither of them should attempt more than 6 of the 10 Commandments. There’s a reason they’re about as popular as male pattern baldness.”

On July 11, 2025, Kennedy reiterated his position on recent legislative votes related to tax policy: “Everybody who voted against the One Big Beautiful Bill voted to raise taxes on the American people by $4.3 trillion. That’s just a fact.”

The “One Big Beautiful Bill,” referenced by Senator Kennedy in these posts, is legislation designed to prevent what he describes as a significant federal tax increase totaling $4.3 trillion.
