Over the past two days, we have been meeting to go through all of the provisions that make this tax code so complex, so costly, and so unfair. We’ve examined in detail tax provisions that affect our families, our small businesses, and our ability for our companies to compete around the world. And this week we will deliver and unveil a comprehensive tax reform plan that lays out bold, transformational, pro-growth tax reform.
Last week, @repkevinbrady, joined by other House Republicans, spoke about pro-growth tax reform at the Reagan Ranch. On that day – 31 years ago – the House and Senate came together to pass the single largest reform of the U.S. tax code in our nation’s history – a bill that was ultimately signed into law by President Reagan.
Thank you to @yaf_ for the opportunity to discuss our ideas at a place with such significance to our nation's history with tax reform.
It’s been 31 years since the last major tax reform. Follow along as each day we highlight 31 reasons we need tax reform. https://waysandmeans.house.gov/31reasons/ #TaxReform17
Yesterday, the Ways and Means Committee held a hearing with the United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Robert Lighthizer, to discuss the Trump Administration’s trade policy agenda where Chairman Kevin Brady reinforced the importance of U.S. leadership in setting the standards of international commerce: “To preserve and strengthen America’s leadership in global commerce, it’s not enough to just buy American products and services. We also have to sell American … We must continue to set the standards of global commerce. With 96 percent of the world’s customers located outside the United States, we cannot afford to sit on the sidelines, or worse, lead the world into abandoning the rules that have served us so well.”
Congratulations President Trump and Vice President Pence. We are excited to work with you on solutions that will improve the lives of all Americans.

Congress is out of session and while most Members are already back home, Ways and Means Republicans spent the week working hard to deliver a simpler, fairer, flatter tax code that helps all Americans.
Chairman Kevin Brady explains the need for a tax form so simple, it fits on a postcard.
This week, Congressional leaders renamed the Social Security hearing room the "Sam Johnson Room" in honor of Social Security Subcommittee Chairman @samjohnsontx03's decades of service in Congress and in the U.S. Air Force, including 7 years as a POW during the Vietnam War.
