Tax Reform Bill
Mr. CASSIDY. Mr. President, Republicans just passed the largest tax
reform package in 30-something years, and middle America will go home
in February with bigger paychecks than they did--I say in February
because it will not take that long for the IRS to update their
software. They will go home with more money in their pockets.
If there has been a theme in the Trump administration, it is that
they want those working Americans, those middle-class Americans, to do
better under this President than they did in the previous 8 years. That
tax reform package is part of that, and I am amazed that my Democratic
colleagues objected to it. They objected to middle-class Americans
having more money in their pockets, in their take-home pay, for no
other reason, I think, than to resist President Trump.
