Washington
—
Following
the
bipartisan
Senate
Finance
Committee
meeting
with
President
Donald
Trump
yesterday,
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
spoke
on
the
Senate
Floor
about
the
Republican
tax
reform
plan
and
why
it
is
essential
to
creating
more
jobs
in
America
and
helping
middle-class,
hardworking
Americans
keep
more
of
their
paychecks.
"Tax
Reform
is
about
two
very
simple
pillars
-
how
do
we
increase
the
take
home
pay
of
the
average
person
in
this
country
and
how
do
we
make
sure
the
jobs
of
the
future
are
created
here
in
the
good
ole
USA."
"Our
workers
in
this
country
take
home
less
of
their
money
because
our
corporate
tax
rate
is
too
high.
We
can
do
something
about
that."
"#KeepYoMoney
simplifies
and
crystalizes
who
we
are
talking
about.
We’re
talking
about
single
moms,
like
mine.
We’re
talking
about
folks
who
work
hard
everyday…strapped,
challenged,
with
very
little
margin
in
their
paychecks
and
their
schedules."
"When
we
talk
about
tax
reform,
when
we
talk
about
inversions
being
eliminated,
let’s
keep
it
simple.
Let’s
talk
about
about
moms
and
dads,
and
single
moms
like
mine.
Can
we
make
sure
she
can
take
more
of
her
money
home
so
she
can
take
care
of
kids?
The
answer
is
yes.
And
we
should
do
that
A-S-A-P.”
