Washington
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC),
member
on
the
Senate
Finance
Committee,
spoke
passionately
on
the
Senate
floor
about
how
the
Senate’s
tax
plan,
The
Tax
Cuts
&
Jobs
Act,
will
help
more
Americans
keep
their
money
and
ensure
more
jobs
are
created
in
America.
Here
are
some
highlights
from
his
speech:
“Today
is
a
good
day.
We
have
both
the
House
and
the
Senate
working
on
tax
reform
that
will
have
a
positive
impact
for
your
everyday,
hardworking
Americans.
This
is
truly
a
good
day.”
“Tax
reform
is
about
everyday
Americans
being
able
to
keep
more
of
their
hard-earned
money.
Tax
reform
is
about
families
like
the
one
I
grew
up
in.
Single-parent
households
working
paycheck
to
paycheck
year
in
and
year
out,
praying
and
hoping
for
something
good
to
happen.”
“We
want
to
say
to
those
folks
who
haven't
really
had
a
raise
in
a
decade,
we
hear
you.
We
feel
your
pain.
We
want
to
deliver
to
our
American
family
the
opportunity
to
see
more
money
in
each
paycheck.
This
is
good.
And
for
folks
who
are
looking
to
start
businesses,
we
have
a
Christmas
surprise
for
you
too.
We've
lowered
taxes
on
the
average
family
about
$1,500
a
year,
$100
or
so
a
month...”
“Most
jobs
created
in
the
future
will
be
created
by
a
small
business
owner.
We
are
going
to
lower
your
taxes
so
you
can
hire
more
people
and
make
long-term
investments
into
building
the
greatest
economy
this
country
has
known
in
more
than
a
generation.
This
is
a
good
day,
and
we
have
good
news.”
