                               TAX REFORM

  (Mr. GAETZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GAETZ. Mr. Speaker, tax day is a frustrating day for most 
Americans because filing taxes is hard. The Tax Code is extremely long 
and complex, and filing taxes is a complicated mess of forms and 
paperwork.
  American families spend $378 billion a year on tax preparation. That 
is enough money to send every U.S. family to Disney World. As a 
Floridian, I think that would be fantastic.
  The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will make things easier next year. This 
simple system will allow American families to see rising income and 
more economic opportunity. It will allow businesses to grow and expand 
and achieve even greater economic potential.
  I am proud that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was passed, and I look 
forward to the continuing progress of the American people.
