Even though the Democratic majority is too busy pursuing a baseless impeachment investigation to get things done for the American people, our economy is holding strong. That’s all thanks to the work Republicans got done during President Trump’s first two years in office. In December 2017, Congress delivered on a promise we made to the American people. We made bold reforms to the over 30-year-old tax code so that hardworking, middle class Oklahomans keep more of the money they earn. Democrats sai...

Congressman Markwayne Mullin voted today in support of H.R. 6760, the Protecting Family and Small Business Tax Cuts Act. H.R. 6760 makes the tax cuts from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, passed in December 2017, permanent for individuals and small businesses. “Our country depends on small businesses and the hardworking individuals who work day-in-and-day-out to put food on the table for their families,” said Mullin. “Today, Congress makes good on its promise to make the individual and small business ...

When President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law last December, good things started happening. New IRS withholding tables went into place. Businesses saw opportunities to invest in their companies and employees. Americans started keeping more of their own paycheck, rather than handing it over to the federal government. As a result of tax reform, over 6 million workers received bonuses, better benefits, or pay increases. The unemployment rate is below 4 percent for the first time si...

This week at the White House, President Trump held the second annual ‘Made in America’ showcase. Representing Oklahoma at the showcase was Round House Jeans, a company who’s been making jeans in Shawnee, Oklahoma for the last 110 years. But that’s just one of many companies that could have been in attendance to tout their Made in the USA label. Oklahoma also has Nonni’s Foods of Tulsa, Griffin Foods of Muskogee, Shawnee Milling Company, Ditch Witch of Perry, Braum’s of Tuttle, Stilwell Foods, an...

There are more than 29,600,000 small businesses across the United States. To me, that’s 29,600,000 good reasons to ensure small businesses can operate in a business-friendly environment. That starts with getting the federal government out of the way. Fortunately, President Trump understands the impact small businesses have on our economy and is enacting policies and cutting red tape that stagger the growth of our greatest economic force. During Small Business Week, we celebrate small businesses ...

Rep. Mullin: It's the end of the tax code as we know it (and I feel fine) Washington Examiner April 17, 2018 https://washex.am/2ER2glH Tuesday, April 17 is Tax Day. Typically, Tax Day falls on April 15. But since that day fell on a Sunday and the District of Columbia recognizes Emancipation Day on April 16, taxpayers received two extra days to file this year. But that doesn’t relieve many of us from the burdensome feelings of Tax Day. The weeks of preparation leading up to Tax Day are stressful ...

Since the day President Trump took the oath of office, he has been hard at work making America great again. Others may not agree with how many times he tweets each day or his unique deal making tactics, but the fact of the matter is that President Trump is enacting policies that put our country back on track. As a businessman from New York City, President Trump may speak or act differently than most Oklahomans. I believe that we make decisions based on two things: our life experiences and the wa...

This week, the House and Senate delivered a gift to the American people—just in time for Christmas. Congress passed a historic overhaul of our nation’s tax code by way of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This Christmas, Oklahomans should be excited that four out of every five taxpayers are going to get a tax cut come the new year, according to the Tax Policy Center. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act roughly doubles the standard deduction and allows individuals to deduct the first $12,000 of their salary from ...

Congressman Markwayne Mullin (OK-2) voted today in support of H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, to deliver significant tax relief to Oklahoma’s families and small businesses. “For thirty-one years, Oklahoma’s families have struggled to get ahead under our increasingly burdensome tax code,” said Mullin. “The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provides real relief to the hardworking Oklahomans who need it most. Starting next year, Oklahomans will see their paycheck stretch further, simply because they are goi...

Millions of Oklahomans work hard day in and day out to bring home a paycheck that fits the needs of their family. I believe they deserve better than a 70,000 page tax code full of loopholes and Washington special interests. That’s why I voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act earlier this month. The House bill simplifies our tax code, reforms the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and delivers bigger paychecks and fairer taxes for all Americans. The new tax plan is fairer and simpler than before. First...
