Washington, D.C.— Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) last night hosted a tele town hall meeting with constituents. More than 26,000 Arkansans listened-in as Senator Cotton fielded questions and spoke about some of his efforts to protect Arkansans from government overreach. One of the most popular topics was President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran.
"The President is not acting in the best interest of America's national security," Senator Cotton answered. "A nuclear Iran is a threat to not just the US but to the world. The President seems determined to reach some grand agreement with Iran. I think we should be confronting Iran and not coddling Iran."
Other questions centered around EPA overreach, VA wait times, Obamacare, immigration and tax reform.
"Our tax code today is several times longer than the Bible and doesn't have the good news. We need tax code that is simple and fair and promotes and rewards hard work," said Senator Cotton. "We don't need politicians in DC to tell you the best way to use your money. I would love to see the tax code reformed right now. Unfortunately, President Obama is the biggest barrier. We don't have a taxing problem right now, we have a spending problem."
