Hill’s Statement on Republicans’ Tax Reform Framework
Washington, DC,
September 28, 2017
Congressman French Hill (AR-02) issued the following statement after House Republicans released their unified framework on tax reform: “We need a tax code that supports American families while promoting financial growth and giving our businesses the certainty needed to grow, expand, and create jobs for Arkansans and Americans. The tax code and its regulations have grown to over 70,000 pages. There is nothing simple or fair about that. It’s been over 30 years since we’ve made any significant changes to the tax code, and it’s time to deliver a simpler, flatter, and fairer tax system. “Consolidating seven tax brackets of taxable income into three and repealing the death tax are two components of many things included in our tax reform package. In total, these recommendations will bring American businesses and jobs back home and let families keep more their hard-earned income. I have always advocated for lower taxes, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to give hardworking Americans hope and relief with a tax code that helps them and their families.” |
