Jenny Wilson on Tax Reform

Reform tax code to narrow income gap, not benefit top 1%

Wilson said Congress's rare rewrite of the tax code was a missed opportunity to simplify the tax system and narrow the ever-widening U.S. income gap. Perhaps the bill's biggest flaw, Wilson said, is the legacy of new federal debt it leaves to the nation's children over the next 10 years.

Were she already in Congress, Wilson would have never voted for the tax bill, which she said was drafted in secret and rushed through without public hearings. The bill may in fact have some benefits--like breaks for small business owners, Wilson said. She added that she would support tax reform that makes sense. "But most of this does not," she said.
