“Mr. President, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will keep over $700 million per year in Montanans' pockets. That is not a number that I calculated; that came right from the Montana Department of Revenue.

This tax has systematically penalized the low-income for not being able to afford health insurance.…”
