In this week’s #TaxReformTuesday, Ways and Means Republicans give us a glimpse into how transformational tax reform will help Americans in their districts, and across the nation. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is going to deliver hardworking individuals, families, and job creators of all sizes with tax relief that will let them keep and invest more of the money that they earn.

Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL): “Here’s what I know: our tax code is a disaster.”
Rep. Mike Bishop (R-MI): “I know there are so many obstacles that you, your family, and small businesses face as a result of today’s overly complicated tax code.”

Rep. Dave Reichert (R-WA): “They struggle because they’ve got a tax code that’s so burdensome.”

Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN): “Manufacturers like this one know our tax code is broken.”

Rep. Diane Black (R-TN): “So here’s what we’re going to do – we’re going to create a system that is fairer, flatter, and simpler.”
Rep. David Schweikert (R-AZ): “The simplification – a fairer tax system – with rates that actually stimulate growth and job opportunities for all.”
Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX): “That 9 out of 10 Americans will be able to file their taxes on a postcard-like system.”
Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL): “That small business owners — like the family who came from Cuba decades ago and struggled to build this wonderful restaurant — can invest more in the community, provide better jobs, and pay their employees more.”
Rep. Pat Meehan (R-PA): “It means jobs not only here in my district, but it also means the retention of very skilled employees.”
Rep. Adrian Smith (R-NE): “That means more money in your pockets. That means more money for you to invest.”

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX): “This is our moment to make transformational tax reform a reality for the American people. Let’s seize it in a bold way that they deserve.”
