“I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I think no one in this Chamber can dispute when I say that America's Tax Code is broken. I rise today to stand with my colleagues in support of progrowth tax reform because our Tax Cuts and Jobs Act works for the middle class. For too long, a complex Tax Code, high rates, and burdensome regulations have held back opportunities for hardworking families. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act offers much-needed tax relief for low-income and middle-income Americans. It focuses on middle class tax cuts that allow hardworking Floridians to keep more of their paychecks so that they can save for their children's college fund, so that they can invest in their retirement, so that they can enjoy vacations with their family. Florida families know how to spend their money better than the government, and this plan allows them to keep more of the money that they earn instead of waiting for tax returns and deductions to give them their money back. This bill is profamily. It is probusiness, and it will give our economy a boost. Nothing will address our debt more than growth. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill.”
