this country doesn't hold together, either individually or in terms of corporate behavior, unless we all do our fair share.

The cruise industry truly is contributing many millions of dollars to the economy.

I agree with the Chairman that, certainly, we need a fairer, simpler tax code.

I don't disagree with the problem. So much of that is just doing right.

I don't think anybody on the panel is trying to say that the cruise industry is not paying what we as Congress have agreed on what they need to pay.

Those who are watering it down now, it doesn't matter what regulation you put on them.

Half the Senate doesn't want very wealthy people, millionaires and billionaires, to pay any more taxes than they're paying currently.

It's just trying to get some information out so that we can really help each other.
