There are not many folks who want to defend the status quo.\u00a0 For decades, Americans have labored on, as our cumbersome, complicated, costly tax code has cost jobs and hurt innovation.\r\n\r\n\t\u201cTo fix these problems, the House Majority has proposed a tax reform plan. It is comprised of policies that are based on commonsense principles everyone can agree on: rewarding hard work, stimulating growth, building a fairer, flatter tax code, and holding the IRS in check.\u00a0\r\n\r\n\t\u201cAnd a recent analysis of our tax reform agenda by the Tax Foundation showed that these plans would lead to an additional 1.7 million jobs for the American people, and an extra 9.1 percent growth for the American economy.\r\n\r\n\t\u201cThe American people deserve a better way \u2013 and that is exactly what House Republicans are going to deliver.\u201d\r\n\r\n\t\u00a0\r\n\r\n\t# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://lynnjenkins.house.gov/press-releases/the-american-people-deserve-a-better-way/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.6141111738979816, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
