Washington, D.C. –  Congressman Ralph Norman (SC-05) has released the following statement following the passage of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act, a comprehensive tax reform bill:

"Tax reform is good for the taxpayer, not the tax collector. Today was a historic victory for middle-class families and small businesses in the 5^th District of South Carolina. It is no secret that our tax code is broken. For the first time in 31 years, the House has passed a bill that overhauls our complex tax code. This tax reform bill will deliver more jobs, a fairer and simpler tax code, and bigger paychecks for American workers.

“Our plan is pro-growth and pro-family. Under this legislation, South Carolina will see an additional 13,850 jobs created. Hard-working middle-class families in South Carolina will see an income increase of $2,391. We have increased the Child Tax Credit from $1,000 per child to $1,600 to help parents with the cost of raising children. The inclusion of an immediate expensing of capital investment will allow a farmer to purchase a tractor to expand operations or allow a mechanic to add a new bay to the shop.

“After listening to people across the 5th District, I am committed to keeping my promise to pass a tax reform bill into law this year, and I look forward to President Trump signing a tax reform bill into law. Let’s work together to create jobs, increase paychecks, grow our economy, and improve lives.”
