Ryan Costello on Tax Reform

 

 


Pro-growth economic vision: cut red-tape, simplify taxes

It is vital to the future of our country--and for the well-being of local residents--that we keep our economy growing and make it easier for businesses to create jobs. Under the current Administration, small and large businesses struggle to invest in their own growth and new employees because of uncertainty and fear of new regulations or taxes. Restoring confidence and stability in our economy requires a new direction: cutting red-tape, simplifying our tax code, and replacing the health care law. A pro-growth economic vision requires other important public policy priorities, like investing in a 21st century education system that empowers America's future workforce.

We can and have to do better for the millions of families struggling to find work, care for their kids and save for retirement.
