FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Last week, Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05) was recognized by the fiscally conservative group, Americans for Tax Reform for being a “Hero of the Taxpayer.” This prestigious award is given yearly by Americans for Tax Reform (ATR), a public policy organization opposed to any tax increases. Upon receiving the reward, Congresswoman Foxx stated: “It is an honor to receive such an important and prestigious award. I have always believed that the American people know how to spend their money better than the federal government, and I am pleased that my efforts in Congress have made a difference. “Since coming to Congress, I have continued to support the President’s tax cuts, and one thing is clear – they have bolstered our economy. Home ownership is up, the economy is steadily growing and the unemployment rate is at 4.7 percent, the lowest its have been over the last three decades. It is imperative that the federal government is fiscally responsible and ensure that we pursue a policy of tax cuts, including permanently ending the ‘death tax.’ Tax increases hurt American families, small businesses and the entire economy by taking hard earned dollars away from the American people. Again, I am thrilled to be a recipient of such a prestigious honor and pledge to continue my work in Congress to fight for tax cuts and fiscal responsibility,” Congresswoman Foxx summarized. ### |
