Tax Reform Heads to President Trump with Noem Vote
Washington, D.C. – Rep. Kristi Noem today voted to send the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to President Trump. The legislation has been approved by both the House and Senate. It now awaits the President’s signature.
Noem, who is the first South Dakota representative in history to serve on the House’s tax-reform committee, was one of nine House Republicans to negotiate the final deal. A farmer, rancher, small business owner and mother, Noem fought to double the Child Tax Credit, provide producers with better expensing tools, and lower tax rates across the board.

“Today is a historic day for the American people,” said Noem. “With today’s vote, we put legislation on President Trump’s desk that will put more money in the hands of hard working South Dakotans. Tax rates have been lowered. The standard deduction and Child Tax Credit are both doubled. Farmers and ranchers have access to enhanced expensing tools and a new small business deduction. And job creators have a new incentive to bring their headquarters, jobs and higher wages back onto American soil. Here is the bottom line: The American people deserve more control over their paychecks. They’ve worked hard for that money, and it’s time for folks in Washington to respect that.”
HIP HIP HOORAY!!
What a day, what a great day! Within 24hrs employers are increasing wages, providing more training and handing out Christmas bonuses. Companies are investing in America, more jobs are being created and the Stock Market is climbing. Cheers to all the Republicans who put months of time and effort into getting this passed, disappointing to see not one (Not. One.) Democrat voted yea for the bill.

#Winning!
Kristi has earned a huge pat on the back for this one.
GREAT JOB
it was not surprising to see that not one democrat voted yes. they and the media cohort are presenting this as the budget-buster of all time, and have run their math nonstop for the last few weeks on this. this is all about the big story to tell voters about the “eeeeeevil” republicans next year. the gop cut the tax rates and skyrocketed the deficit (only because the concomitant budget CUTTING needs to happen now). this will go hand-in-hand with the fantasy-accounting trick of always talking about the “ten-year-recovery” so that the turnaround under trump is attributed to barack obama. oh oh oh ohhhh if only such number crunching had been engaged in EVEN ONCE by the media in the run-up to the final vote on the patient-protection-and-affordable-care-act of 2010. THAT non-stop coverage was about the great national relief that finally everyone would be covered (they weren’t) costs would drop (they didn’t) and healthcare was fixed (it wasn’t).
What is glaring from under the democrat anti everything republican spin is the obvious fear they have that if a majority of Americans receive a benefit from the tax cuts Democrats lose midterm elections. Big time.
Yuge thank yous to John Thune and Kristi Noem for all your work. Given the small size of South Dakota it’s extraordinary that our Washington delegation had such significant input into the bill. It’s a reflection, I think, of the respect they have from fellow lawmakers for their South Dakota common sense ideas.
A Yuge thank you to the flaming Liberal that made it happen in the Senate, chief negotiator, Ivanka Trump. Chip off the old man’s block.
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi tied for the “Dishonest Politician of the Year” award for their blatantly false and idiotically-messaged attacks. True, the drones of the socialist side of America will eat it up with a spoon, true or false, because it comes from these two. I love how MSN and the other leftwing “news” outlets always call it a 1.5 trillion tax cut. They push any potential negative to the simpletons who use them as their news source, while those of us who read deeper into things and have some math skills can see what good this will do for the country.
Every time some Dem brings up the expiration of some individual cuts in ten years, the GOP needs to pound and pound that the blame lies with Schumer and that the cuts would have been permanent it he hadn’t threatened filibuster.
I saw Senator Santorum do exactly that on CNN today. The host talked about how children were going to loose CHIP benefits and Santorum set the record straight. But, I agree, they need to hammer out the lies and fake news.
Anonymous 12:00,
You are correct and I’m glad you are correct.
The MSM is so out of touch they think a tax cut is bad and they unpopular. Do you think this would be getting any play if they thought a tax cut was good and popular?
In January, people are going to get a raise and they will see in their pay check. Do you think $20 to a person living paycheck to paycheck is going to send the Dems a thank you for trying to keep that $20?
The dumbest people in America today are people in the media. Hands down. Not even close. Professors at colleges are next.
Liberal Ivanka Trump is the superstar that negotiated with a couple of Republican Senators that turned their vote around. Give her the credit, not her Daddy.
assuming ivanka sees herself as a representative working for her father, your point is pointless.
She works for her Father and he used her to be the big play maker. Art of the deal, and Ivanka scores big league for the Donald and for America.
Well, I am going to rethink that, because President Trump probably used Ivanka to get the one or two Senators to change their mind. Brilliant move.
