Standard Deduction
standarddeduction.net
The Working-Class Standard Deduction ($100k Single / $150k HOH / $175k Married) is my centerpiece for National policy change to the IRS tax code. As a working-class tax strategist, I see firsthand how the current code punishes the people who build this country while shielding billionaires. By wiping out federal income taxes on the first $100K–$175K of earned labor, introducing a $150 Schedule C flat fee offset, and lowering the tax rate to 1% under $250K, we deliver true economic freedom to everyday workers.
National Centerpiece vs. State Centerpiece: While the Standard Deduction transforms the federal tax code, my Texas State Centerpiece is expanding Early College High Schools (ECHS) statewide, creating the Texas Educator Masters Certification for teachers onboarding to ECHS opportunities, subsidizing public education (giving tax exemptions to public schools, not Elon Musk whose bootstraps are plenty long enough to pull himself up), guaranteeing an $85,000 minimum income for public educators, and funding statewide subsidized farm-to-market hot school lunches through a voter-approved THC sales tax ballot initiative.
This platform stops the penalty. It represents the biggest tax deduction in history for single entrepreneurs and the working class.

We are wiping out federal income taxes on the money that actually matters, pairing landmark federal relief with unshakeable property tax protections for Texas homeowners and renters.
"As a professional Tax Strategist who prepares individual and business returns every day, I tell voters: 'Millionaires vote their tax bracket. It’s time the working class voted theirs.' Texas relies on regressively high property taxes that crush seniors, renters, and working families while handing billions in Chapter 312 tax abatements to multinational conglomerates. Our tax platform establishes a real standard deduction of $100K for single filers, $150K for head of household, and $175K for married couples, offset by a $150 flat tax fee to all Schedule C earned and unearned income when applying the standard deduction. Earned income over the standard deduction and under $250K receives a tax reduction down to 1%, after which normal federal income tax brackets resume at $250K, paired with a 3% homestead circuit breaker."
The Texas standard deduction 100k shields the first $100,000 for single filers and independent hustle completely free from federal income taxes.
Guarantees $150,000 in baseline tax protection for Head of Household filers, ensuring single parents keep every dime needed to raise healthy families.
Provides married working couples $175,000 of untaxed income, accelerating family savings to put 20% down on their dream home.
Earned income above standard deduction thresholds up to $250,000 receives a marginal tax rate reduction 1 percent 250k. Normal federal brackets resume only after $250,000.
A $150 flat tax fee applies to all Schedule C of earned and unearned income when applying the standard deduction. The first $100K+ is 100% tax-free for small biz.
Making businesses "Too Big to Hide" so freelancers and entrepreneurs can show legitimate income, build verifiable credit, qualify for mortgages, and buy a home.
Guaranteed Texas property tax relief through an unshakeable Texas property tax circuit breaker capping residential property taxes at 3% of household income for families earning under $100K, funded by ending billionaire Chapter 312 corporate tax holiday carve-outs.
Rolled out in direct tandem with our $100K standard deduction: While working families keep their first $100,000 completely federal-income-tax-free, we lift the artificial FICA cap for billionaire earners and apply FICA contributions to high-bracket unearned income (capital gains, dividends). This guarantees permanent solvency for Medicare, reclaims $5.4B in Medicaid expansion to save rural Texas hospitals, and paves the road to universal Medicare for All without taking a dime from working paychecks.

National political consultants treat working-class Latino agricultural, trucking, energy, and manufacturing communities as invisible—until election season. Because federal IRS tax reform crosses all 50 states, our $100K / $150K / $175K Standard Deduction and $150 Schedule C Flat Tax directly serve the 12 working-class Latino strongholds where 1099 truckers, farmworkers, oilfield crews, and family solopreneurs power America.
In Yuma County, AZ (~66% Latino; San Luis 98%) and Imperial County, CA (~86% Latino), winter produce harvesters and 1099 cross-border owner-operator truckers are crushed by fuel inflation and the 15.3% self-employment tax. Replacing Schedule C self-employment taxes with a $150 flat fee and shielding the first $100K–$175K of household income delivers immediate kitchen-table relief.
From Fresno, Bakersfield (Kern), Tulare, Merced, and Salinas, CA (56%–79% Latino) to Yakima and Franklin County / Pasco, WA (52%–55% Latino), millions of orchard, dairy, cold-chain, and oilfield families build generational stability when their first $100K–$175K is 100% exempt from federal income tax.
Radiating outward from Texas’s Permian Basin (Pecos, Reeves, Odessa) and Panhandle (Hereford, Deaf Smith) into Las Cruces & Hobbs (NM), Dodge City, Liberal & Garden City (KS), Greeley & Pueblo (CO), and Lexington & Schuyler (NE)—empowering packinghouse workers, wind/oil technicians, and rural main-street LLCs.
In Reading, Hazleton, and Allentown, PA (54%–69% Latino), Osceola & Hendry Counties, FL (56%+ Latino), and Dalton & Gainesville, GA (43%–53% Latino), warehouse workers, 1099 construction tradesmen, and family bodegas become “Too Big to Hide”—showing full net income on their 1040 to qualify for home mortgages.
