With the dreaded Tax Day – April 15 – only two weeks away, Congressman Mike Rogers is urging Congress to bring H.R 352, the Tax Code Termination Act, to the floor for a vote. Rogers has consistently backed legislation that would force Congress to fix the current tax code.

“America’s tax code is an embarrassment: too long, too complicated, and too full of loop holes. We need a simpler and fairer tax code that encourages savings and investment and allows Americans to keep more of their hard-earned dollars,” Rogers said.

“Tax Day is rapidly approaching, and Americans are fed up with the burdensome tax code. Hard-working folks in East Alabama know how to handle their money much better than the overzealous IRS.”  Rogers added, “The current tax code is proof of so much of what is wrong with Washington, and it is time to get rid of it.  I believe that creating a new tax code based on simplicity and fairness will help spur economic growth and job creation.”

Rogers is Chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces. He is also a senior member of the Homeland Security and Agriculture Committees.
