Smith Tax Reform Would Benefit Families, Workers, and Job Creators

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) today participated in a joint hearing of the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Finance Committee about comprehensive tax reform. The last time the two committees met for a joint hearing on tax issues was 1940.

"Greater simplicity, fairness, and predictability in the tax code would benefit families, workers, and job creators," Smith said. "The two committees meeting together illustrate the importance of comprehensive tax reform. Transforming our tax code would help taxpayers, encourage job creators to invest, and promote economic recovery."

Smith serves on the Committee on Ways and Means which is leading the efforts for comprehensive tax reform in the U.S. House of Representatives.
