thank you very much it's a great honor to be here this was the thank you so
many of those beautiful hats do we love those hats remember you have to win the
great state of Ohio and did we win the great state of Ohio and I always say I
always say this how are we doing now compared to the election and so far the
answers always been better or much better everyplace so we're doing great
and we just had a couple of meetings with some of the folks and I'll tell you
what we have great great people in this state this is a very very special place
and this is a little bit of a business roundtable today
we're going to be talking with secretary Alix a cost of Congressman Jim Rene sees
as you know running for the Senate we need his vote very badly he'll be
fantastic I've known Jim for a long time and he's with what we're doing and he
agrees you look at the steel plants and steel mills are starting to open again I
just left the president of United States steel he said it's incredible what's
happening and you know we did a thing called tariffs and we did it on steel
and aluminum and we're doing a lot of other things my group just got back from
China we're gonna have to rework trade with China because that's been a one-way
street for decades and we just can't have it happen and so we'll do that and
we have a lot of respect for President Xi and we have a lot of respect for
China but can't go on that way and that'll all work out we're doing very
well on as you know North Korea we'll see what happens but we have a meeting
set up we have the location all done we have the time and place all finished now
we have the date and so I think that'll be something very special if you
remember we were into that others from the administration we're saying that's
going to be the toughest problem and certainly it's a problem but
many problems and will get himself we had we broke 4% yesterday you saw that
first time and you know there are two ways of saying it you could say first
time in 20 years or first time in this century
and and we really would do it in great from that standpoint and we want to get
we want to get our workers back we want to get our we want to make our product
here we want to make our everything here we this is America first now folks this
is now America first it's enough what we've been doing for the last long
period of time thank you we have make America great again we have
America first you can choose whichever one you want or you can choose both like
I really want to choose both but the choice is America first because we
really and and by the way other countries they put themselves first okay
I'm not saying you know we've had where we talked about America well the fact is
we want to be first we're gonna make our country great and you know what people
from other countries they're going to do what they have to do but we're gonna
bring it to a level playing field right now you look at our trade deficits with
every country virtually I mean I don't even have to ask I don't have to go
around how are we doing with this country of that country for the most
part almost every time we're doing badly we have deficits with everybody and
don't let anyone ever tell you that trade deficits are okay they're not okay
they're not okay we have massive trade deficits with China we have massive
trade deficits with Mexico who would think a hundred billion dollar trade
deficit with Mexico who would even think that and that doesn't include lots of
other problems you see that on the border I really thought they'd be much
tougher and better to us on the caravan didn't quite work out but that's okay
that's okay it's gonna end up working out our borders are and our laws are a
mess our immigration laws are a disgrace and Mexico has some of the toughest
immigration laws in the world can't just go into Mexico but they allow these
people to come up through Mexico and come into our country and they know that
our laws are so weak that once they get up there it's the most ridiculous thing
I've ever seen you've seen catch and release you catch them and then you
release him okay that's what it is catcher there's a
Democrat rule sherrod Brown this is a Democrat we'll catch it at least you
catch a me realism and and just to show how ridiculous
we have judges we have thousands of judges do you think other countries have
judges we give them like trials that's the good news the bad news is they never
show up for the trial okay so they release them and they have a trial and
supposed to take place in a year a year not the following day but that's okay
there's only one problem nobody ever shows up there in the country welcome to
the United States and these are the laws that we're suffering with these are were
this is why you'll see and the wall we have to build how about the wall where
everyone scales the world now we are fixing and building walls now but we
need much more money we're doing the job right we're gonna do the job and we may
have to close up our country to get this straight because we either have a
country or we don't and you can't allow people to pour into our country the way
they're doing you just take a look at that mess that's on television right now
it is a total catastrophe and these are the laws passed by Democrats so that we
have open borders they want open borders we have to have borders if you don't
have borders you don't have a country so we're gonna have step by step
step-by-step we've made a lot of progress and we're gonna be making a lot
of progress in that too and we have actually you know it's very interesting
in San Diego they wanted a wall but we have the money to build it well we are
actually you know we got 1.6 billion for fixing and building but in San Diego
California where we have a lot of problem you know we have a governor
that's not cooperative wants to have you know between sanctuary cities and let
people come in with open borders and everything else it's not easy for our
Border Patrol people it's not easy for our ice people how about the mayor of
Oakland where she notifies them that ice will be coming so everybody splits up
and this was a well-orchestrated situation she notifies them that ice
will be coming and everybody splits up so all of that work and all of that
everything to do what they had to do it turned out to be a big bust it's very
very sad and let me tell you that's called obstruction of justice you want
to know that is called total obstruction of justice so we're getting it
straightened out it will be straightened out soon we passed the biggest taxes if
you look I mean you take a look at the the tax I call it the tax cut plan you
know you wanted to call it the tax reform plan I say how come since Reagan
nothing has passed having to do with tax cuts how can and being a non-politician
I'd say how is it possible not to be able to pass tax cuts they said well it
hasn't happened since Ronald Reagan and it were near what we're doing but
essentially tax cuts even at a small level I said I don't understand you're
going to reduce taxes for people and you can't get votes they say no sir they say
huh I can't figure it out then I found out they don't call it tax cuts they've
called the tax reform well tax reform might mean your taxes go
way up it could mean a lot of bad things so I said here's what we'll do we're
gonna call this plan the tax cut plan tax cut
see you take tax cut we're gonna cut taxes we're not going to reform we're
gonna reform - but we're not going to reach
so I was I couldn't believe it I couldn't because I looked and I studied
like four or five attempts and they failed miserably so they called me up
and say what - no sir what's the official name you'd like on the bill I
wanted to be called this is true they didn't want to do it they thought it was
a little hokey and I think they were right but I wanted to be called the tax
cut cut cut cut plan I actually did I would have put it in you know that
Charlie and they said that's a little you know front of the United States guy
I said I said alright so we'll call it the tax cut and jobs plan and we did
that and we got it passed and it's the first time the biggest in our history
and the stock market since the election the stock market is up almost 35 percent
think of it almost 35 percent and honestly and companies are doing even
better than that companies are doing better they are ready to just do numbers
that you've never seen before and we do need people coming into a car
you know at three point nine percent unemployment we need people coming in
but I will tell you this we want people to come in to our country on the basis
of merit not picked out of us so we're working on merit systems because we need
people to help you know we have up in Wisconsin we have Foxconn coming in
that's a friend of mine they make many of the Apple iPhones and Apple equipment
and I said to Tim Cook who's now investing three hundred and fifty
billion dollars Apple and they're bringing much of it in from foreign
lands from overseas they're bringing it in because of our new tax plan because
it gave them the incentive to bring money so these big companies are
bringing the money back and they're investing it in the United States Tim
Cook is bringing two hundred and thirty billion dollars back from overseas money
you would have never seen and Apple spending three hundred and fifty billion
dollars for new plants and a campus that's great so we have a lot of things
happening and in Ohio you know what's going on the auto companies are starting
to come back they're starting to expand I had I was so nice I was greeted at the
airport by great people and some of them were coal miners and one of them said
they dressed in beautiful actually black shirt I said give me one of those I want
to wear it of I ever play golf I'll wear that shirt is beautiful it was beautiful
actually but they're proud and they were four of them and they were standing they
greeted me off the airplane there were a lot of people waiting at the airplane
and I went over they said sir were coal miners and since the day you got elected
we've been filling up the trains I said what do you do said we load trains I
said well that's a good description I mean
better than that that says it all said we load trains and from the day you got
elected we've been loading trains before that I said how was it they said not
good there wasn't too many trains to be loaded but he said I haven't had a day
off since the day you got elected and that's happening and it's gonna be
happening even more so so when it's all together and when everything is really
set and it's really going well it's going much better than people even
understand our military we got seven hundred billion dollars I didn't like
having to do this last budget because there's a lot of things that the
Democrats put in that I hate but I had to get money for our military our
military was depleted we weren't getting the new equipment you will see the same
stories that I do and we needed help and I got seven hundred billion dollars and
then I got seven hundred and sixteen billion dollars and remember that
equipment is all made here it's made in the United States we make the greatest
missile systems the greatest planes we make the greatest military equipment and
a lot of other equipment including commercial planes but we make the
greatest military equipment in the world you got to see that recently when you
saw what we did in Syria where they said oh we shut down 40 missiles I don't
think so I called up I said how many were shot down none none stealth
missiles it's called stealth missiles and every single one
we shot in 109 and we had 109 hit their target and by the way France and the UK
was great they helped us they were they were with us all the way and we
appreciate that but we make the greatest equipment in the world but we had to fix
our military we also wanted something that has a tremendous impact on Ohio is
the opioid disaster drugs generally but the opioid we got six billion dollars
for opioid prevention and work and rehab and we need help
we need help and we're very very tough one of the reasons we want the strong
borders a lot of this stuff comes in from different places but it comes in
from Mexico it comes along the southern border and we're stopping it will make
it it much tougher but we can't do that unless Congress gives us the tools that
we need we have to get rid of catch and release we need strong strong tools we
don't want the lottery system we want a merit system can you imagine a lot of
resistance can you imagine it we take people based out of a lottery a lottery
you think the country is putting their finest and the lottery I don't think so
I don't think so alright think about that
and you know the problem is that these beliefs are so deep seeded in the
Democrats like a sherrod Brown there so I mean you have to we need the votes Jim
will be Fanta you're not a big lottery system man are you good okay otherwise
I'd have to take away my voice although I say Jim I can no longer endure see Jim
now we want to merit we want a merit system where they come in based on merit
so we're gonna get a lot of things done we have a lot of great people running I
think we're gonna do very well in the midterms the poll numbers are you know
pretty good the question is whether or not they actually say that I'm popular
could you believe it of course the fake do such a job thank you now there's been
well we just had a poll 51 or 52 which came out you know very nicely and then I
turn on like you know one of the networks and I see Donald Trump who's
not very popular and say what what are you talking about thank you sir the poll
came out that I'm above Obama above Obama then well but then you turn to the
fake news and they go Donald Trump who's not very popular I'm saying to myself
you know I'm not saying hey it's going good we're doing well it actually amazes
me when you can be at 51 or 52 on a poll that was very this is Rasmussen it was
very accurate for the election one of the more accurate polls for the election
and you're in that category and you get nothing but bad publicity I mean I get
nothing but bad publicity I say how is it possible that I can do
that now it's fake publicity and some of the you know some of the I have to tell
you there are some great professionals too in that world you know I don't want
to make it like everybody but the amazing thing is that the people are
smart they get it you see the jobs now you have choice too just like we're
getting the veterans choice we're gonna have that very soon by the way you're
gonna have choice of jobs of jobs you know people people would have one
job and they were petrified to leave that job they didn't want to leave that
job because they didn't think you know they were you know working at thing you
gotta love what you do you're not gonna be good at it you got to love them now
you're gonna have choice because there are a lot of jobs we have a lot of job
openings and and people that weren't hiring for years and years and years all
of a sudden we have jobs and you know one of the folks that my people were so
impressed with is on my left is Charlene and I'd like to ask some of the people
up here to just talk a little bit about what the tax cuts have meant because the
tax cuts have helped so many people in such a big way and Shelley do you think
I could start by maybe asking you to say a few words today my name is Charlene
Thornton and I'm originally from Maine and I moved out here to the Ohio Valley
in 2002 the reason I'm here is because I wrote a letter to you and I didn't
really think it was going to be read but it was there listening so and the
subject of my letter was to let you know that this tax cut and jobs plan was
affecting those positively we also wanted to let you know that we were here
supporting you my husband Kevin was he worked in a steel mill and it closed
down in 2012 due to the company going bankrupt so he was then there were a lot
of people who actually lost their jobs at that time our whole area was
saturated with unemployed and then he spent the next one and a half years
retraining and then at the same time searching for a job fortunately I was
employed for one of those years the first year of it I then became legally
blind and could no longer work couldn't drive and we have no transportation
public in our area also it so essentially what happened was we fell in
such hard times that we had to rape to have it
surrender car to be repossessed we almost lost our home and then we
struggled every day to make ends meet we basically lived off of my credit cards
and both of our unemployment which still wasn't enough to cover finally he found
a job january of 2014 he's still with them but because of the
tax cut and the job plan they're taking out a lot less taxes than what they had
been prior to before we have actually seen in several checks two to three
hundred dollars less taxes than what they did before the plan
so those are the real numbers I actually went back and looked at his income and
the taxes before and after and I was amazed so it really is working so I do
want to thank you mr. president for making our lives a lot less more
enjoyable
and this is my husband Kevin Kevin would you like to say something yes first of
all thank Thank You mr. president we're inviting us the giving us the
opportunity to tell you our story I've been a lifelong resident of Hubbard a
small city just northeast of Youngstown and in 2000 I started working for what
would be known as RG Steele and stayed there until it's closing in June of 2012
they told us all to go home the mill had gone was gone into
bankruptcy 50 days later the mill was sold for scrap all of us that worked
there we loved that place we really did and we were all deeply impacted there
were 700 of us we all lost our jobs I was out of work that she had said for a
year and a half and it was a brief period in time where we went with no
income at all no paycheck nothing coming into the house but thankfully thankfully
in January of 2014 I found employment with the current company I'm working
with and it's a great company to with great people and room for us to always
expand and grow I had a drive an hour and a half those for one of their
facilities and I did that for three years until recently I was able to
relocate to a facility closer to life and that took off a burden for me the
company unemployed with has been seeing huge amounts of demand for their product
they had this tax cut that we're having is enabling them to purchase new
machinery open up buildings they previously had closed and to hire more
people and I didn't think that I would ever be able to say this in my life but
I think I can now at this rate I think I'll be able to be gainfully employed
until my retirement
I've been hearing that from steel companies and in particular from us
steel where I was with the president as I said and he they're just talking about
opening plants now and so many things have changed and that's because of our
stance and also on the tariffs a 25% tariff on steel 10% on aluminum plus it
gives us the right now other countries want to negotiate with us because of it
and you're seeing things happening now again we're gonna take care of our
people we've been taking care of a lot of the world and they never appreciate
it a lot of this world never appreciated what we do we fight wars for them and we
fight all sorts of things and then they take advantage of us on trade on top of
everything else so we're gonna keep a lot of friends but they're gonna respect
us again and they've started to respect us again and that makes me feel very
good so thank you Kevin I'm sherry Schiele CEO of shield eastern appliance
and we were located in North Miami Ohio to south of Youngstown we've been in
business for 66 years we're family owned and operated
second generation we have a hundred and forty eight awesome employees several
are here today and we do an annual sales volume of 34 million dollars it's
because of the dedication and hard work of our employees that she Lee's earned
the number one independent furniture retailer of america award a few years
ago
I'd like to recognize my husband Dale Schiele sitting here in the front row he
is our president it was his father who started the company in 1952 with a
pickup truck and a hot water heater I mean she Lee's furniture I believe is
truly the American dream success story and I have to say that immediately upon
your election which Adele and I were more relieved than you can even imagine
we chose to move forward with an addition to our showroom we had
contemplated that for about seven or eight years didn't feel it was the right
time but we felt with your strong leadership that now is the time to
invest in our company so in the next two weeks we're going to be opening our new
bargain bonus center and everybody the store is very excited that's good so
thank you very much thank you
and then we were more excited when your tax cut bill passed in December and at
that time Dale and I wanted to reward all of our employees we decided to wait
a few months would be a surprise so in March of this year we awarded all of our
full-time employees $1,000 bonus
and we gave all of our part-time employees a $500 bonus
and I must say mr. president they were so excited it was totally unexpected
we had several employees who got so emotional they cried just Thursday one
of our delivery drivers came into my office and said sherry I have to tell
you I thank you again from my thousand dollar bonus I was going to use it to do
repairs the summer but I chose to do something different and he said I just
put $1,000 down payment on a vacation I'm taking my family on this summer
that's good so that means a lot to Dillon eyes thank you for everything
you're doing for this country I want to encourage you to stay the course
and if you ever have any time of any kind of disturb them discouragement I
want you to realize that there's millions of Americans across this
country like my husband and I who pray for you your family
thank you thank you for making furniture great again and thank you for making
America yes thank you Thank You mr. president my name is
Chantel Stroh Hecker I have been West eelis for 22 years as a furniture sales
associate and designer I'm also a very proud daughter of a coal miner my
husband Mark and I live in in a valley Pennsylvania which is about an hour
north of Pittsburgh and we have two amazing children our daughter Brittany
is 23 she's a nurse's aide at a local nursing home and one of your biggest
fans our 17 year old son Dylan who graduates this year when sherry asked if
I wanted to come she knew how much Dylan respected you and so she did invite him
also so he's very excited to be here our health insurance comes through my
husband's employer and before Obamacare we had no premiums we had no deductibles
once Obamacare came into effect my husband's employer which is just a
small company was unable to cover the premiums any longer so we now have very
high premiums and also higher deductibles last year we had two medical
situations involving my son and then later on in the air my husband that
required several days in the hospital and my husband actually has more
surgeries coming and with the bonus that you made possible we were able to pay
down some of our medical bills so I just really want to thank you mr. president
and the she leaves for making that possible for our family
you know you mentioned Obamacare it's been a disaster and we are we actually
had it beaten except for one vote you remember that beautiful night it was it
was defeated but one vote changed they changed but one of those things but
we've actually done a great job because in the tax cut plan we got rid of the
individual mandate which is the most unpopular time and now we're going to be
doing other things like Association health insurance and we have our great
Secretary of Labor who is in charge of that and I guess over the next few weeks
we're gonna have a very very big announcement on health care we have a
few of them because Alex azar also is going to be making a big statement so by
the time we do these various plans that we're doing and they're fantastic for
people and they cost the government relatively little and maybe I could ask
Alex Acosta to say a few words about it Secretary of Labor mr. president thank
you and uh and and and and so you know destroyed that you shared with us is a
story we've heard from so many Americans there are 11 million Americans and their
families that work for small businesses that can no longer afford health care
and that's a big big problem right and so one of the things that folks don't
know is that Obamacare puts a greater burden on small businesses than on
corporations and so the president's vision is is there a way that small
businesses can band together so they can just get the same access to health care
as the big corporations so we're working in a proposal to do just that and the
president is very focused on this and that's something that the Department of
Labor is hoping to announce in the very very near future that's gonna be
transformative 11 million Americans and their families at small businesses that
don't have access to health care that could have that access under Association
health care
and let me let me just add one one final word that the president touched on the
tax cut and Jobs Act and I just wanted to say that the president has made
promises to the American people he's promised to cut taxes and the taxes have
been cut and he's promised that we're gonna find jobs and create jobs and the
Trump economy has created since his election 3.2 million new jobs and since
the tax cuts alone the Trump economy has created since the tax cuts alone 800,000
new jobs that's transforming lives
promises made and promises kept thank you
I think maybe I'm gonna ask Jim you know Jim Rohn AC has been really terrific
he's represented Ohio for a long time he had a successful a very successful
businessman and he's now as you know running for the Senate again sherrod
Brown who does not think the way we think and when it comes to borders when
it comes to so much and remember it's also the vote because they're gonna vote
as a bloc and the Democrats are very weak on borders very weak on health care
the health care that they had is a disaster and it's coming to an end very
weak on you look at the borders they don't want the wall but we're gonna get
the wall even if we have to think about closing up the country for a while we're
going to get the wall we have no choice we have absolutely no choice and we're
going to get tremendous security in our country but Jim has been there all the
way he's highly respected in Washington just a respected person really knows
what it is to go out and make a dollar go out and spend a dollar understands
business understands what we're doing in the country and understands what it
takes to make America great again and I give Jim my full support and Jim maybe
you could say a few words well thank you mr. president
thank you and welcome back to Ohio it's really great to have you here the first
time I met you you were candidate Trump and I told you I was with you then and
I've been with you every day since it's true I appreciate what you're doing luck
on that I was a small businessman as many of you know I created over 15 own
jobs employed over 3,000 people so I understand and I'm still a CPA and I
still have my CPA license to understand what this tax law does so I was so happy
when the president said we're going to cut taxes for Americans and as I travel
the state I hear that all the time I hear it from small business owners I
hear it from employees I'm so happy these that we're hearing these stories
and I know we're going to hear some more because as I travel the state it's
working it's working in here in Ohio everywhere from key corp who lowered or
raised their minimum wage because of these tax cuts to Smuckers who gave
everybody $1,000 bonus added money into their pension plan stare us right up the
road $1,000 bonus all these things but you know it's just not the big companies
either because the small companies the little company is doing just the same
thing coach truck and tractor in Conneaut just seven people actually gave
that seven person business gave bonuses to their employees small business we
also have the first federal community bank and over thousand dollar bonus to
full-time employees and 500 to part-time so it's working but you know what the
greatest story is my travel the state of Ohio it's when I walk into a restaurant
and somebody walks up to me and says thank you thank you because I got a
couple extra hundred dollars in my check last month and now I can put a little
bit more away for college or I can put a little bit more away and pay off my car
loan these are the stories that are working this is why I'm so proud to be
standing here with or sitting here with the president and knowing that we
together were able to put a tax plan together with his vision and get it
passed so again thank you for being
and I have to say I just looked at the numbers and Jim's really doing great
he's really got a big shot at doing it he's been as I said he's been a
fantastic congressman and I really suspect you're going to be a even more
fantastic senator so we need your vote we need your help so go out and help Jim
we'll get it done thank you Tony we'll just say a few words mr. president I
want to thank you for inviting us today really truly honored to be here I hope
you don't mind if I stutter a little bit because not a little nervous I first
want to recognize a couple of people Ohio congressman David Joyce his aide
Nick Giovanni and Ted Yates was the mayor of Twinsburg Ohio good these are
the gentlemen who made it possible for me to be here today so thank you guys my
name is Toni Kroos Garry and I'm the owner of Ohio Industrial Sales we're a
small company located in Twinsburg Ohio which is about 25 miles from here I
guess just south of Cleveland I started this company in my basement in 1978 and
in July of this year we will celebrate 40 years after working for 38 and a half
years I finally decided to retire and I turned the business over to my son and
named him president who happens to be in first row under blue shirt and although
I still remain active and some of the important decisions of the company let's
call them a veto rights Todd still runs the business I try to
stay out of his way and he's doing a great job I know I know your people were
interested in having small business represented here today and I guess you
could say we're about as small as you're gonna get our company employs 13 people
14 if you include me and we have annual sales of approximately 3 million dollars
when I received the news about the tax cut I contacted our accountant to find
out how it impacted our company and I was thrilled to find out that we would
receive over a 20% tax reduction in our final bottom line which that information
along with the savings that our employees got on their paycheck I
decided to give everybody in the company a $500 bonus
and I know it's not the $1,000 that a lot of the other people are getting but
you can let Nancy Pelosi know that my people appreciate the crumbs that they
receive
the the additional monies that we're receiving from the tax benefits are
going to be used to to buy some new equipment and to hire some additional
employees we may even get up to fifteen or sixteen and Todd and I'll bet he's
very easy to work with right now a little bit about our company we're a
distributor for several manufacturers that manufacture high temperature
ceramic fiber products these are products that are used in applications
that range from a thousand degrees up to three thousand degrees Fahrenheit and
our services for them include die-cutting steel fabrication
distribution and also contracting we service the steel industry aluminum heat
treating forging foundries chemical etc and we also have several military
contracts one fires to make one final point I know there have been many people
in the media and some of your opposition who have claimed that your tax cut is
only benefiting the large companies and their executives well I'm here to say
that's not true we're small and we are getting we're
small and we're getting the benefit as much as any big company goes
you know you have to remember that these large companies that you keep hearing
about this is sort of you know plays it to a certain narrative but most of these
companies are owned by millions of shareholders and they're the
beneficiaries as are the people out there so whether it's a large company
and they have a million or two million shareholders and those are the people
that are getting that that dividend or they're getting the benefit of a stock
increase because you look at the stock prices they're at all-time highs but so
when they hear when you hear the word the large companies most of them are
owned by millions of people so everybody is benefiting so you've got
to put that down and you have to remember that very important Tony thank
you very much great job just just one final point and I hope this doesn't
sound like a commercial but I'm sincere when I tell you President Trump that we
thank you for what you're doing for our business and small businesses and I
think I speak for small businesses all over this country that we thank you for
doing what you're doing to help us make America great
thank you please I'd like to thank Tony Church Gary and president Trump for
being here today it's an honor and a privilege sir
I have a positive story to share about the tax cuts and it centers around my
son Grayson who's one year one year old I was the proudest happiest day of my
life due to the tax cuts our company was able to give out a very generous $500
bonus to myself and other employees I used that bonus to start a college
savings account for my son that I would not have been able to do at that time
without the bonus also due to the extra take-home pay in my paycheck was about
$125 a month we've been able to move him into one of the better daycares in our
area and it's just fabulous see him growing every every single day he's
learning something new reading his favorite book and it's it's
heartwarming but you know the negative spin the rhetoric from the from the
media you don't hear positive stories like that those don't grab the headlines
and I just want to say I'm a damn proud American to be here today and to be able
to share that story and thank you for all your hard work that that you do and
you continue to do on a day-to-day basis it's great keep up the great work
thank you very much that's beautiful and that is beautifully
stated - thank you very much thank you sir
please my name is Chris how to me I'm from New Franklin Ohio I was born and
raised in Texas when I was 19 I enlisted in the Marine Corps after four years of
active duty service after four years of active duty service I moved to Ohio with
my wife and and we decided to settle down and start a family
I've been here for eight years now and we have two beautiful daughters Hayden
and Savannah they're both at home right now and with the rest of my family still
in Texas we only get to visit them every other year or so so because of these tax
cuts we're now saving over $1400 a year which gives me the opportunity to take
my family here in Ohio down to Texas to visit my family down there family is
very important to me and my my wife and it just means a lot to us that we are
now able to do that on a more frequent basis so thank you thank you very much
thank you I I am so grateful for the opportunity to be able to come here and
tell you in person thank you for what you're doing for our family you know
like my husband said we're saving over fourteen hundred dollars a year because
of this tax good and not only does that give us the opportunity to go visit
family in Texas that we don't get to see often my husband and I actually made
kind of a deal with each other when we decided we were actually going to settle
down in Ohio and not Texas in North Carolina or any of the other states we
were tied to we were gonna hold off on buying a house until we had our debt
paid off you know we wanted to get the student loans and the car loans and you
know just all the little debt that catches up with you and adulthood that
we wanted to pay off before we bought a house so not only is that giving us the
opportunity to stay closer to our out-of-state family that puts us that
much closer to our goal of actually buying our house and settling down
permanently in Ohio so thank you so much
well these are stories that you hearing all across America and there's just
nothing negative to say they're incredible people
they're savers they're workers they they're proud to pay tax they're proud
they're they love to pay they know what what's happening but now we're spending
the money wisely also you know you have to spend it wisely at the top but our
country is doing great it's I think maybe doing as good or better than it's
ever done before and it's only gonna get better
we have tremendous things planned and we're gonna start being smart about our
relationship with other countries and others and you're gonna see tremendous
progress over the next hopefully seven years but it's not even gonna take seven
years it's gonna go very quickly it's gonna happen really very quickly we all
love this country we love it a lot those were incredible stories I really I
think it's just amazing to hear you could we could take almost everybody in
the room probably everybody in the room then hear a similar story but I'm very
honored to have been able to do the tax cut tax cut plan because it has led to a
lot of jobs it has led to better jobs it has led to increased salary but also not
only the increase in the salary but you have a lot left over which is money that
most people even the people up here certainly but probably most of the
people in the audience didn't expect to see or have and it's made a big
difference in a lot of lives we do a lot of these we meet a lot of people it's
made a tremendous difference and I am so honored to have been able to help and
we're going to do a lot more over the coming year so again thank you all for
being here thank you
thank you that's very nice I really appreciate it and your special special
people and enjoy your lives we're going to make your lives a lot better every
single year they're gonna get better and better and it's an honor to be with the
people of Ohio thank you very much thank
