Hoyer Statement on Tax Day WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement on tax day: “Today is the last opportunity for millions of Americans to file their taxes, and for many it is a reminder of the tangible contribution each of us makes in making the country we love safer, stronger, and more reflective of its core values. At the same time, April 15 is a moment to reflect on the state of our tax code and recognize that Congress ought to engage in a candid and serious discussion about how to make it work for all Americans. “Comprehensive tax reform offers an opportunity to lower rates, broaden the base, promote a more sustainable fiscal outlook for our country, and encourage job growth and strong wages. At the same time, we must ensure that Congress is budgeting the taxpayers’ money in a responsible and sustainable way – investing in the long-term growth we need to make sure jobs and opportunities are accessible to all those who seek them. “I hope Republicans and Democrats in Congress can work together this year to have the meaningful conversation about tax reform that taxpayers expect from their representatives.” Visit www.democraticwhip.gov for more press, floor and member resources
