Washington
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
statement
below
after
the
Senate
Finance
Committee
passed
the
Senate
version
of
the
Tax
Cuts
and
Jobs
Act,
the
most
comprehensive
tax
reform
legislation
moved
by
Congress
in
three
decades.
“I
want
to
thank
Chairman
Hatch
and
all
of
my
Republican
colleagues
on
the
Finance
Committee
for
their
hard
work
drafting
and
advancing
this
once
in
a
generation
opportunity
to
revamp
our
nation’s
tax
code,”
Senator
Scott
said.
“We’re
putting
money
back
in
the
pockets
of
hardworking
American
families,
ensuring
the
jobs
of
the
future
are
created
here
in
America,
and
giving
some
breathing
room
to
a
middle
class
that
has
been
taxed
too
much
for
too
long. Every
single
income
bracket
sees
a
tax
decrease,
and
the
typical
American
family
will
save
upwards
of
$1,500
a
year
in
taxes.
I
look
forward
to
the
full
bill
coming
to
the
floor
of
the
Senate
in
the
coming
weeks,
and
getting
a
tax
reform
package
to
the
President’s
desk
before
the
end
of
the
year.
This
is
an
amazing
opportunity
for
the
American
family,
and
tax
relief
is
coming!”
