Reform is not going to be easy, but I want to seize this opportunity to provide our working families and small businesses with tax relief that helps to grow our economy and increase paychecks.\u201d\n\u00a0\n\"Tax reform is the Administration's top legislative priority so it was wonderful to join Senator Collins and U.S. Treasurer Carranza in Maine to talk about how tax reform will provide much needed relief for hard working American families and enable American businesses to be competitive and thrive. \u00a0I want to thank Senator Collins for hosting us today and being such a great champion for working families,\u201d said\u00a0Advisor to the President Ivanka Trump.\u00a0\n\u00a0\n\u201cIt was an honor to visit the great state of Maine to discuss the administration's plan for tax reform.\u00a0Our plan focuses on a\u00a0middle income tax cut that will put real money in the hands of Americans to help them invest in their children\u2019s futures and their own retirements,\u201d said U.S. Treasurer Jovita Carranza. \u201cFiscally responsible tax reform that boosts economic growth and provides relief for working families is a goal that is shared by Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. \u00a0Americans all know how to spend, save, and invest their own money and we want to make it easier for them to do so.\u201d\n\u00a0\nVolk Packaging Corporation is a third-generation box manufacturer with more than 80 employees.
