There’s a lot to like in House tax reform bill
For working families, there is a lot to like in the House tax reform bill. The bill would simplify the tax code, eliminate the loopholes, and allow taxpayers to keep more of their money.
Low- and middle-class families have been struggling for far too long to get ahead. Under the tax bill, the average household with two children would get a $1,182 tax cut. That is a big help to families living paycheck to paycheck.
Right now, the tax code is too complicated. More than half of the taxpayers in this country pay professionals to prepare their returns. The bill would simplify the tax system and get rid of the loopholes, allowing most of us to file on a post card.
We can all benefit from a simpler, fairer tax code that allows most Americans to keep more of their money.
