Setting the record straight on tax reform

Andrew Wilford - THE HILL - December 19, 2017

As tax reform legislation moves closer to a final vote, one would expect taxpayers to be looking forward to being allowed to keep more of their own money. Instead, polls are showing that Americans are actually more opposed to a bill that will cut their taxes than previous tax hikes.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will simplify the code

Demian Brady - December 18, 2017

While much attention is paid to the burdens of paying taxes, often overlooked is the burden of filing taxes. In total, taxpayers spend nearly 7 billion hours just to comply with the current tax code, an amount of time worth $263 billion.

Fiscal Hawks are endangering tax reform by letting Democrats rewrite history on deficits

Mattie Duppler Springer - November 30, 2017

Enacting tax reform is the most important thing Congress can do to grow the economy, yet new hesitations are being expressed by lawmakers who worry that the tax overhaul will increase the budget deficit. But why? The deficit is the difference between what the federal government spends and what it the government takes in.
