WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today Liberty Leader Rand Paul sprung back into action after suffering six broken ribs and an injured lung from a surprise attack by a violent Leftist. Wasting no time, Paul is rearing back to punch Obamacare right in the gut with an amendment to the Senate Tax Plan repealing the individual mandate.
Today I am announcing my intention to amend the Senate tax bill to repeal the individual mandate and provide bigger tax cuts for middle income taxpayers.
The mandate repeal is a promise we all made and we should keep. It also allows an additional $300 billion+ in tax cuts.

My amendment will fix a problem in the Senate bill where many taxpayers would see a tax increase because of the loss of state and local deductions.
I will introduce a similar deduction as the House plan, making the tax reform plan more fair for everyone.

This will help ensure House acceptance of the Senate plan as leaders there have stated they will not accept a plan with no state and local deductibility. Repeal the mandate fix problems with Senate bill through more tax cuts for all and help ensure House and Senate plans agree.

Recent successes in driving conservative solutions against the pull of the Swamp, Paul’s combo here may land and help knock the Republican Establishment back on track for a tax bill by the end of the year.
The Senate Tax Plan has to go a long way to be the true tax reform that the American people expect after eight years of Obama and Big Government’s insatiable appetite for your money, but Paul’s efforts are a good start to lifting the burden.
Paul has proven himself a man of ideas that can advance conservative policies against the current, most recently with the Association Health Plans order signed by President Trump. It remains to be seen if the Establishment will develop the stones to take advantage of the opportunity for bold reforms while controlling the House, Senate, and White House.
Aggressively pursuing conservative goals mere days after having his ribs crushed by a disturbed individual, Rand Paul’s stones are not in doubt.
