To the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce strongly supports H. Con. Res. 14, which would provide the clearest path for permanent extension of the pro-growth provisions in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). It also provides a framework to responsibly reduce government spending, and we urge its swift passage.
This legislation is a significant step towards preserving our existing competitive tax system and unleashing the economic growth and opportunity Americans deserve. A recent public opinion survey conducted on behalf of the U.S. Chamber shows a majority of voters support making tax relief permanent. In February, the Chamber led nearly 500 state and local chambers of commerce and national trade associations—representing all 50 states—in urging Congress to permanently extend the TCJA pro-growth tax reforms that help workers and businesses achieve their American dream. Because of TCJA, businesses across the country have been able to hire, raise wages, expand operations, innovate, and invest in operations, equipment, and people.
We urge all Members to vote in favor of H. Con. Res. 14 to secure permanent, pro-growth tax relief to drive innovation and investment so that American workers, businesses, and communities can continue to thrive.
Sincerely,
Rodney Davis
Senior Vice President
and Head of Government Affairs
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
