WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., today issued the following statement regarding the tax cut plan unveiled by the Senate Finance Committee:

“Americans deserve to have a tax code that respects and rewards hard work. The current system, though, is failing middle-class families and stifling economic growth. For too many people, it is difficult to make ends meet, let alone protect a lifetime of savings. The tax cut plan proposed today stays true to our goal of giving Americans more take-home pay and unleashing job creators and innovators. If we can deliver on these tax cuts, I believe we are going to give a jolt to the economy, the likes of which we have not seen in more than a decade. So, I am eager to roll up my sleeves – working nights if necessary, working weekends if necessary – to get this bill to the President’s desk.”
