LIVE: @senorrinhatch is speaking now at the @taxpolicycenter on the impact of #taxreform on American businesses. Tune in: http://brook.gs/2suDtTC  #BusinessTax

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
