                          MARKING TAX DAY 2018

  (Mr. GIANFORTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GIANFORTE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to mark tax day 2018.
  I do not make it a habit of celebrating tax day, but this year is 
different. Tax day 2018 is the last time the American people will have 
to file their taxes under a complex, outdated Tax Code.
  The new Tax Code lowers the tax rate for every Montanan. The reduced 
rates are creating larger paychecks. A teacher in Billings told me her 
take-home pay has gone up $1,500 a year.
  The new Tax Code provides relief to Montana families by doubling the 
child tax credit. Parents will have more money to buy their children 
clothes, diapers, and food.
  Today, I am celebrating tax day 2018 because we are putting that old 
antigrowth Tax Code out to pasture. In its place is a new, simpler Tax 
Code that cuts rates for all Montanans, helps families, and is growing 
our economy, leading to more jobs and higher wages.
