Hatch: One of the main goals in drafting #taxreform was to provide middle-class tax relief. By lowering rates, increasing the standard deduction, and boosting the child tax credit, we met that goal. #BusinessTax

Hatch: Reducing the corporate tax rate from 35 percent – the highest in the industrialized world – to 21 percent was chief among the business tax reforms we enacted and put us on par with our international trading partners. #taxreform #BusinessTax

Hatch: No matter how you slice it, by reducing the corporate tax rates, we have lowered the tax burden and increased the potential to generate wealth for the American middle class. #taxreform #BusinessTax

Hatch: Since we enacted #taxreform, more than 340 companies have announced they are awarding bonuses, raising wages, or boosting retirement contributions – benefiting about 3.5 million workers. #BusinessTax

Hatch: For a middle-class family, $1,000 is three or four car payments, a couple months’ worth of groceries, or a rent or mortgage payment. #taxreform #BusinessTax

Hatch: Between a reduced corporate rate, the transition to a territorial system, and the BEAT, we have created a system that will keep investments in the United States from being shipped overseas. #taxreform #BusinessTax

Hatch: Just yesterday, @WSJ reported that, under the new law, a significant number of companies that inverted over the last few years will see their taxes go up, at least slightly. This is what it means to be competitive with the rest of the world. #taxreform #BusinessTax
