U.S. Senator John Thune, August 2012

U.S. Senator John Thune will serve on the committee charged with reconciling differences between tax bills approved by the House and Senate. He joins Congresswoman Kristi Noem on the panel. 

Thune says Republicans in the House and Senate are committed to passing tax legislation that will create jobs and reduce rates for middle-class families. 

Congressional Democrats say the bills favor the wealthy and large corporations, and that the middle-class will end up paying more federal taxes.
