Luetkemeyer: “I think the tax cuts of 2017 showed that leaving money in people's pockets... seems to work.”

What you are saying is that when you raise taxes, to the extent that the individual or small business cannot even pay it, it will force them out of business.

One of the biggest problems that I have with them is this power grab by the bureaucracy to take more power to themselves and away from all of you small-business guys.

I have been an advocate for a long, long time of reinsurance to be able to minimize the taxpayers' exposure on flood insurance.

This has to stop. ... It is going to be a direct cost to the consumers, and it is going to hurt the small banks especially.
