U.S. House Introduces Pro-Growth Tax Reform Today

The Main Street Growth & Opportunity Coalition, a group of statewide associations and small business owners, supporting the urgency behind pro-growth tax reform to help businesses grow and create jobs, which will lead to a healthier, more secure economy.
The U.S. House of Representatives today introduced legislation to help America continue to flourish as a great nation. We can do better by updating our outdated tax code and the coalition urges swift passage of tax reform this year.
“We commend the U.S. House for taking the necessary steps to reform our 30-year old tax code today,” said Julio Fuentes, President & CEO of the Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “We are behind the Florida Congressional delegation, across party lines, to push for tax reform this year and urge the public to do the same.”
“Our U.S. economy has been operating under the same tax code since Ronald Reagan was president, 30 years ago,” said Amanda Prater, small business owner in Tallahassee, Florida. “Small businesses represent 99.7 percent of U.S. employers and our elected officials should continue to protect the free market by passing comprehensive tax reform this year.”
“Yours truly, a blue dog Democrat supporting GOP tax reform. We are in the land of political unknowns on many issues, however tax reform is a no-brainer and should pass with flying colors this year,” said Barney Bishop, President & CEO of Barney Bishop Consulting, LLC. “As a small business owner and consumer advocate, I fight for my clients’ success which is largely inhibited by our 30-year old tax code. Support tax reform across the aisle this year and urge your officials to do the same.”
