Roskam supports tax reform

Posted May 30, 2012 5:00 am

I can’t believe that while I’m stuck paying my fair share of taxes, the wealthy, big businesses and special interests are taking advantage of tax loopholes and tax breaks.

How ridiculous is it that while we’re struggling to make ends meet, higher-income taxpayers are reaping the benefits of a tax system that is skewed in their favor? Congress needs to eliminate tax loopholes for the wealthy so that everyone pays their fair share.

We need people like Peter Roskam in Washington because he gets that if we’re going to get through these hard economic times then everyone is going to need to help.

That’s why he supports reforming our tax code to eliminate tax loopholes and tax breaks. And that’s one reason I support Peter Roskam for Congress.
