According to the senator, “We want to make American Business competitive again.” He emphasized that other countries around the world have tax systems that are more competitive. “We are left behind. It’s time we catch up.”

Furthermore, Toomey said people are reacting too early about the tax reform. He made the statement in response to those who oppose the tax cuts, which they believe are good for the wealthy.

Sen. Toomey said, “It’s not even possible for anyone to come to a conclusion yet about what’s going to happen. I know what our intent is and I feel really good about our intent. I feel really good about how we’re going to get there.”
