American Strength, Spirit, and Security

Celebrating America's Entrepreneurs President Donald J. Trump signed a proclamation designating November as National Entrepreneurship Month, emphasizing the importance of an economic and regulatory environment that enables businesses to thrive and inspires the proliferation of entrepreneurs. The Unified Framework for Tax Reform, supported by President Trump, directly reflects these goals by promoting an economic environment in which American companies are motivated to reinvest their overseas wealth back home, new companies and businesses are attracted to our markets, and hardworking Americans keep more of their money in their pockets. The new tax code will be simple, fair, and easy to understand and, most importantly, it will put America and its entrepreneurs first. See the full proclamation and learn more about the Unified Framework for Tax Reform that will stimulate the American economy and provide relief to middle-income families here.
