WASHINGTON. – U.S. Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) today unveiled their Economic Growth and Family Fairness Tax Reform Plan. In an effort to fix our broken tax code system, Lee and Rubio outlined their plan to eliminate the bias in the tax code against parents and families, encourage economic growth to create more jobs and better wages, and enhance the ability of businesses to compete globally.

An excerpt of Lee's remarks can be found below:

"The greatest driver of American prosperity is equal access to and equal opportunity within our free enterprise economy. That’s what spurs innovation, creates jobs, and drives up the take-home pay of working Americans.
 
"Today, in an ever more competitive global economy, the greatest impediments to economic opportunity and growth are unfair, dysfunctional government policies that have not kept up with changing times. These policies empower political insiders and crony capitalists elites at everyone else’s expense.
 
"One place where these policies are especially prevalent is the federal tax code. And so , Along with Sen. Marco Rubio, I am introducing a pro-growth, pro-family tax reform plan to correct these unfair, broken policies to level the playing field for all individuals, families, and businesses."
