Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on December 06, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Bill Thomas! Another year wiser, and still the only person who can make tax policy sound exciting. Your legendary tenure as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee proved that navigating complex legislation is easier than blowing out all those candles in one breath!

From your nearly three decades representing California's 21st district to your unmatched ability to charm both sides of the aisle (well, most days), you've left an indelible mark on Capitol Hill. May this birthday bring you as much joy as successfully passing a bipartisan bill—rare, rewarding, and worthy of celebration!
