We need to reduce taxes and excessive regulation on business. Business needs predictability. Right now, the only thing businesses are certain of is that more taxes and regulations are coming their way – which means their ability to be profitable and create jobs will be curtailed significantly.

This new tax law will save the average Iowan $2000 in taxes - and that isn't crumbs no matter what Nancy Pelosi thinks. But we must not stop there.
