Congressman Kevin Cramer issued the following statement following after the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Conference Report to Accompany H.R. 1 -- the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act:
"Today's a truly historic moment for Congress, for our country, and for the conservative values of small government that so many of us stand on. With the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Congress just corrected the tax imbalance created by decades of special interest lobbying in Washington. In 2018, North Dakota families across all income levels will keep more of their money; America will be open for business as one of the most competitive countries in the world; and 70,000 pages of convoluted tax code will be simplified to the point where most individuals will be able to fill out their taxes on a post card. Putting money back into local economies where it belongs is the best Christmas gift Washington can give, and I was glad to support Congressional Republicans and President Trump in bringing tax cuts to the people of North Dakota."
