Republicans face a clear choice: pass the Big Beautiful Bill or risk economic disaster and political humiliation in 2026. Steve Forbes just handed them a warning label with a blunt message – keep fighting over this bill and watch as the economy tanks. Forbes says they’re nitpicking while the clock ticks. “Stop the carping,” he demands. Time’s up for petty debates.
The “Revenge Tax” hidden in Section 899 of the bill is a poison pill for markets. This hated levy would punish success and stifle investment. Forbes calls it “nasty” and “onerous,” warning it will crush the very businesses we need to grow. Republicans claim to back free markets – why let this tax pass?
Forbes pleads with Senators to kill the Revenge Tax now. “Make the bill better,” he urges, not just pass it half-baked. Ending capital gains taxes entirely is his next demand. Lower taxes mean more hiring, more innovation, more jobs. That’s how you “unleash the economy” – not with more punishing rules.
The Big Beautiful Bill needs more bold reforms. Forbes wants fewer restrictions on American energy, less government spending, and a full repeal of Biden’s regulatory mess. These fixes would spark growth like a firework. But without them, it’s just a weak compromise.
Republicans risk betrayal if they don’t deliver. Every American deserves tax relief – not middle-class families stuck paying more. The Revenge Tax proves they’re out of touch. Voters will remember in 2026.
Forbes knows the stakes: a strong economy = Republican survival. Fail here and Democrats will crow about GOP incompetence. The base expects action – not empty promises. Delivering this bill right is the only way to keep the majority.
The clock’s ticking. Senators need to focus. Ditch the Revenge Tax. End capital gains. Add real reforms. Show voters you mean business. Anything less and you’re gambling with America’s future.
Pass or pass out. The choice is that simple. Conservatives, workers, and families are watching. Will Republicans show the guts to fight for prosperity – or crumble under pressure? History is being written.
