America's tax code is beyond repair. Tinkering with it won't work. The only hope is a bold tax-reform plan that will liberate our nation from the slow-growth status quo and jump-start a new era of American prosperity and growth.
I want to give consumers way more choices in health care. Choice and competition always drive down costs better than central control.
The world has changed. It's not enough to simply buy American; we have to sell American, sell our products and goods and services throughout this world.
I've always intuitively liked the consumption-tax model.
I'm a strong-and-stable-dollar advocate, and the Fed has been moving dangerously away from that mission.
In my view, the biggest challenge facing this country is that we are not living within our means. Spending cuts can only get us halfway there.
When American workers are losing their jobs to people in other countries, Washington cannot afford to ignore this disturbing trend any longer. While Democratic presidential candidates want to just blame U.S. corporations, the reality is that their strategy won't help protect American workers or save their jobs.
We need a simpler, fairer tax code that protects taxpayers. Not special interests.
When we don't unite, we do a terrible job.
Tax reform is the legislative challenge of a generation for America. It hasn't been accomplished since 1986, when President Reagan and Congress delivered the most sweeping overhaul of our nation's tax code in American history. 2017 is the year to change that and make history of our own.
Tax reform for the 21st century means rewarding hardworking families by closing unfair loopholes, lowering tax rates across the board, and simplifying the tax code dramatically. It demands reducing the tax burden on American businesses of all sizes so they can keep more of their income to invest in our communities.
We cannot allow American taxpayers to foot the bill for tax revenue grabs in Europe and elsewhere.
We want to deliver tax relief all across the country, no matter where you live.
No one has yet convinced me a dollar stranded overseas is better than a dollar brought back home here to America for any reasons. So, if a company needs it, whether it's to do research, buy another business in America, grow jobs or try to become more financially strong, that is good for the United States.
The Affordable Care Act has hurt more people that it's helped.
Ways and Means is the committee that tackles the big issues that affects people's lives and their jobs in a major way.
Americans need health care focused on them, not Washington. They want choices, not more mandates. They want affordable plans with ready access to local doctors and hospitals - not high-priced plans with doctors they don't know.
Americans deserve a simple, fairer, and flatter tax code that jumpstarts our economy, helps create jobs, and makes America a leader again.
I'm tired of seeing American jobs, manufacturing, and headquarters forced overseas due to a tax code that works against us.
America's fiscal future is frightening.
