I believe we can, and should, find common ground on a path forward for comprehensive tax reform.

I agree with Senator Thune in that our high tax rate on businesses in America is making America uncompetitive.

The C corporation rate at 35 percent is not competitive, compounded by the fact of double taxation.

Successful tax reform will take a President who truly makes it a priority and works closely with Congress.

The tax code should not get in the way of public-private partnerships that want to build new roads, bridges, and highways across the country.

It makes no sense to cling to an outdated system that taxes some high-tech investments, such as computer servers and MRI machines, at more than double the rate of other investments.

Eliminating the double taxation of corporate income would reduce or eliminate at least four distortions built into the current tax code.

Dear Chairman Bishop and Ranking Member Grijalva: I am writing to support Congress' efforts to create a limited and targeted framework to address Puerto Rico's fiscal crisis through H.R. 4900.

I am also deeply concerned about the legal contortions the Administration makes to claim the authority for these rules from the statutory language in the first place.

The rule defies Congress' clear intent, and allows the agencies almost limitless discretion.

These rules will now make it even easier for the Federal Government to designate larger and larger swaths of local, state, Federal and private land and waters as critical habitat.

The sweeping impact of these rules seems to be magnified, especially when you consider recent regulatory actions like EPA's water grab.
