CEO Supports Pro-Growth Tax Reform
CEO Karl Hutter calls for pro-manufacturing tax policies, on behalf of manufacturers, at NAM’s “Invest in America” tax roundtable.
April 8, 2025 — Washington, D.C. — Click Bond CEO Karl Hutter joined the “Invest in America” tax roundtable organized by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). The event was hosted in the U.S. Capitol by House of Representatives Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN-6) and supported by Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Jason Smith (R-MO-8). The group was joined by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Click Bond was one of 14 small, medium, and large U.S. manufacturers represented at the event to urge lawmakers to extend and make permanent tax policies enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. They provided hard-hitting, concrete examples of how these pro-manufacturing tax policies grow the U.S. economy and its national security.
Hutter’s engagement at the tax roundtable is part of his two-year chairmanship of NAM’s Small and Medium Manufacturers Group. It builds on his testimony in February before the House Small Business Committee.
The NAM supports the following pro-manufacturing tax policies:
- Preserve the pass-through deduction.
- Prevent individual income tax increases.
- Safeguard family-owned firms from the estate tax.
- Restore immediate R&D expensing.
- Revive full expensing for capital investments.
- Reinstate a pro-growth interest deductibility standard.
- Maintain or further reduce the 21% corporate tax rate.
- Prevent international tax changes to the FDII, GILTI, and BEAT regimes.
