COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)— U.S. Senator Tim Scott  issued the following statement today on Tax Day:

“I get it – Tax Day is one of the most dreaded days for hard-working Americans. It serves as a reminder that Democrats’ out-of-control, inflationary spending results in more money taken out of the pockets of hardworking Americans and placed into bloated federal budgets managed by unelected and out-of-touch Washington bureaucrats. Put simply: I believe the American people are the best stewards of their own money. That’s why I fought to expand the child tax credit and double the standardized deduction for low- and middle-income families. Working with my Senate colleagues, I created Opportunity Zones, a program that has pumped tens of billions of new private investment dollars – not a single cent of which is taxpayer money – into impoverished zip codes around the country. Over the coming days, I’ll continue my work by unveiling a plan to protect American taxpayers from President Biden’s supercharged IRS.”
