On the recordDecember 14, 2017
Mr. Speaker, I rise today because I am excited. For the first time in decades, I can dare to hope that we will not crush our children's future with debt. As our House and Senate colleagues work hard to shape the details of a final bill, we can see the goal line: We will lower rates across the board for hardworking taxpayers in all brackets; We will provide relief to small businesses and farms throughout our Nation so that America can compete and win; and We will simplify the Tax Code. Mr. Speaker, you shouldn't need an army of lawyers and accountants to do your taxes. Americans deserve a Tax Code where everyone plays by the same rules and a code that projects a lifetime of savings. Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to work together, give America the healthy economy it deserves, and support the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. ____________________
