Recently, the American people have suffered through high unemployment rates and a sagging economy. Many are having to make tough choices and are finding it difficult to provide for their families. It’s time Congress put money back in the pockets of the American people by cutting taxes on American families and small businesses.

Congress must rein in the excessive regulations that stifle American agriculture and energy production, lower the tax burden for our families and job creators, and create a fairer and simpler tax system that results in better job opportunities, higher household income, and a significant improvement for all Americans. Additionally, just as families across this country are doing right now, the federal government must begin to tighten their proverbial belt and cut back on spending.

Congress must get back to the business of fiscal responsibility and strive for a balanced budget without raising the taxes of hard-working Americans.

I remain committed to working to cut regulations and taxes in Congress, ensuring Oklahoma’s families are able to keep more of their hard-earned money at the end of the day.
