Larson: President's Outline Is Not a Tax Reform Proposal

Statement

Date: April 26, 2017
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Taxes

Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01), released the following statement after Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, unveiled President Trump's tax reform proposal:

"This is not a tax reform proposal, this is an outline of a wish list, that favors the wealthiest 1 percent. What Congress needs is a plan, and one that does not continue to squeeze the middle class," said Larson. "In his first 100 days the President has failed to put the nation back to work, is calling to take 24 million Americans off of healthcare, and has yet to create a single job. Any reform proposal needs thoughtful consultation, an open process, and hearings, so that the public may see the details in depth and not just more tweets and outlines and wish lists. None of which help the middle class.
