As the White House and GOP prepared to reveal the first details of its tax plan, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz told the FOX Business Network that Republicans should pursue “Reagan-style” tax cuts for individuals and small businesses to boost U.S. economic growth.
Cruz, speaking in an interview with Maria Bartiromo on “Mornings with Maria,” argued that a tax plan that promotes “growth, fairness and simplicity” will bring an end to a period of slow growth.
“If you want to see Reagan-era economic growth, if you want to see booming GDP [and] small businesses growing, you’ve got to have Reagan-style tax cuts,” Cruz said Wednesday, adding that tax reform led by President Ronald Reagan spurred “China-level numbers” for economic growth.
Cruz said broad tax cuts will help the U.S. return to 3%-plus GDP growth.
“If you want people to rise the economic ladder, you need the economy growing and you need small business growing. A big tax cut’s the way to do that,” he said.
