“This debate speaks highly in support of tax reform, a fairer, flatter, simpler Tax Code, but as a new Member this debate has also been very disheartening. As a West Point cadet I lived by a motto: I will not lie, cheat or steal nor tolerate those who do. As an Army officer we said an officer's word is his bond. I am here to tell my colleagues 75 percent of these tax cuts go to those who make $75,000 or less. Let us reject the Democratic proposal and continue the work that the American people sent us here to do.”
