Washington, D.C. -- Congressman Scott Perry offered the following statement in support of President Donald J. Trump's speech in Middletown, PA touting efforts to enact comprehensive tax reform:
"I was honored to join President Trump in Middletown today at the home of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard's 193rd Special Operations Wing. The President gave a great speech about the need to provide relief to hard-working families and small businesses through Tax Reform. On just the hope of reform, we've watched unemployment drop to a 16-year low and wages start to rise - which is why I'm committed to working with President Trump and my colleagues to ensure that real relief gets across the finish line. We simply must develop a modern tax system that's fair and encourages companies to stay in the US, where they can grow and create quality, well-paying jobs. NOW is our once-in-a-generation opportunity to create prosperity again and a better future for our Nation. I'm looking forward to getting the job done. Thank you, Mr. President, for leading the way."
