Congressman Brady Backs Trump Tax Plan: Video

U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady is the House Ways & Means Committee Chairman and serves Texas' 8th district.

From the Office of U.S. Congressman Kevin Brady: Historic, bold tax reform is what Texans have waited years for and they have a White House, the House and the Senate all moving in the same direction. Following the Trump Administration's tax reform announcement, U.S. Congressman Brady, the House Ways & Means Committee Chairman joined House Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch in releasing the following joint statement:

The principles outlined by the Trump Administration will serve as critical guideposts for Congress and the Administration as we work together to overhaul the American tax system and ensure middle-class families and job creators are better positioned for the 21st century economy. Lower rates for individuals and families will allow them to keep more of their hard-earned money and empower them to invest more in their future. Getting tax rates down for American companies, big and small, will create new jobs and make the United States a more inviting place to do business. With an eye toward fairness and simplicity, we’re confident we can rebuild our tax code in a way that will grow our economy, better promote savings and investment, provide our job creators with a competitive advantage, and bring prosperity to all Americans.
