Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 6, 2017
Mr. Speaker, with the leadership of Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady from Texas, the House has passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The tax cuts bill that the House Republicans supported makes the Tax Code simpler and fairer, allows hardworking taxpayers to keep more of their own money they earn, and gives small businesses more room to grow and create jobs. Our Senate colleagues deserve credit for listening to the people of the country and voting to pass tax cuts last week. Now we stand on the doorstep of history. As we move to conference committee, we have the chance to overhaul the antiquated and notoriously confusing Tax Code for the first time in a generation. When the conference process is finished, the President will be able to sign a tax cut bill that serves the interests of American families and businesses rather than those of politicians and special interests. As Speaker Paul Ryan has said, these opportunities come around only once in a generation, and now is the time for us to seize the moment. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
