Steve Scalise: We’ve Got to Simplify the Tax Code, Cut Taxes and Create Jobs

‘In our bill we’ve been working hard to make sure the tax cuts are immediate’

EXCERPT:

SCALISE: “Again, the Senate will have to figure out how to pass a bill that achieves the main goals of cutting taxes and getting the economy moving and bringing jobs back home. We’re going to do the same thing in the House. If there are differences, which there will be, we’ll work them out. Look, in our bill, we simplify the tax code so much that over 90 percent of Americans could actually do their taxes on a postcard or an app if you’re a young kid that has those smart phones like a lot of us do. The bottom line is, we’ve got to simplify the tax code and cut taxes and create jobs. That’s what our bill does in the House. I would imagine the Senate will go a little but different route, but ultimately focus on the same thing. The key goal here is to get a bill on President Trump’s desk, which he wants on his desk so that he can sign it and get this economy moving again.”
