As U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) said on the Senate floor, Tax reform is about everyday Americans being able to keep more of their hard-earned money. Tax reform is about families like the one I grew up in--single-parent households, working paycheck to paycheck, year in and year out, praying and hoping for something good to happen. [The Senate bill] is good news for those single moms and single dads out there. It's also good news for the working class families, dual-income, making around $75,000 a year, working every day, trying to make sure they have a little left over for dinner out. We want to say to those folks who haven't really had a raise in a decade, we hear you. We want to deliver to our American family the opportunity to see more money in each paycheck.
