Support for H.R. 644 and H.R. 636

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COSTELLO of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of
2 bills that will bring tax certainty to small businesses and families
in my District.

It is legislation that will make a number of tax provisions
permanent. I encourage my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to
support this legislation.

We have to fix the tax code for everybody--including hardworking
small businesses and families.

I have traveled my District and have heard from many small businesses
and families who are looking for tax relief.

H.R. 644--The Fighting Hunger Incentive Act will promote charitable
giving which will benefit all communities. It encourages contributions to local food banks such as the Chester County Food Bank in Exton, by making
permanent a food-inventory donation in our tax code.

H.R. 636--America's Small Business Tax Relief Act will give small
businesses certainty to grow and plan for the future.

We can all agree on the fact that our tax code needs reformed and
simplified.

If we move to put these reforms in place we can continue to work
towards comprehensive tax reform that is simpler, flatter, fairer, with
lower rates for everyone.
