Hensarling Statement on Tax Reform Framework

Statement

U.S. Congressman Jeb Hensarling (TX-5) released the following statement after House Republicans released the Unified Framework for Fixing our Broken Tax Code:

"Texans and Americans are sick of the status quo in Washington. From Mesquite to Rusk, our citizens are crying out for relief from our complicated and onerous tax code. Today, Republicans are answering the call by offering a solution to fix our broken system with meaningful reforms.

"In this plan, tax rates for individuals and families are lowered by creating three simple tax brackets, special loopholes for special interests are eliminated, and our job creators are given the relief they need to grow and become more competitive.

"We need a fairer, flatter, simpler and more competitive tax code. One that can deliver more jobs and bigger paychecks.

"I look forward to working with my colleagues as we take the next steps to make good on our promise to empower the American people instead of Washington bureaucrats."
