Congressman Alex X. Mooney Plans to Vote for Tax Cuts for all Americans
Today, Congressman Alex X. Mooney (WV-2) intends to vote for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to deliver tax cuts for all West Virginians. He released the following statement:
“The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act means an average family of four will receive a $2,059 tax cut—that means more money in the pockets of all Americans.
The bill doubles the standard deduction for all taxpayers, meaning that a couple’s first $24,000 of income will be tax free. Furthermore, the bill doubles the child tax credit to $2,000. The bill also reduces taxes on small businesses (from 35% to 25%) and will encourage job growth in West Virginia.
President Donald Trump has been a true leader on delivering tax relief for all Americans and I am looking forward to continuing to work with him to create more jobs and to keep our economy growing.
Finally, this bill will reverse the flow of jobs leaving our country by reducing the corporate tax from 35% to 21%, which will make us again competitive with the rest of world.
Therefore, I will be voting for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act today”, said Rep. Mooney.
