Any additional steps that you think Congress should be focused on to ensure that e-waste which can be recycled does not end up in a landfill?

We need to take every opportunity to remind the Biden Administration that the Constitution provides that Congress, not the executive branch, with the sole authority to lay and collect taxes.

I didn't think we were going back to isolationism, but apparently that is the new road that we are setting out on.

The OECD, in its Pillar Two agreement, failed to recognize our pioneering Global Minimum Tax as a qualifying tax.

Where in the Constitution does it say you need 60 votes to pass a bill?

The Administration has empowered other countries to reshape our tax law, while curtailing Congress's role.

Should we really give the OECD so much power?

The right way to change our minimum tax regimes is to appeal to Congress or, if they say no, to voters.

Under the Constitution, only Congress has the power to lay and collect taxes.

It is a disgrace that American tax dollars are subsidizing an organization that is actively undermining American competitiveness abroad.

Every member on this dais, regardless of where you think our--ultimately our tax laws should end up, should be absolutely outraged at how the Administration has used the OECD to circumvent your constitutional role in policy-making.

Many countries in Europe don't prize innovation or competitiveness like we do, and that is why so many of them come to the United States.

I think there is a strong consensus not just in this committee, but across the country, and certainly in the taxpaying community, that provisions such as UTPR are something that we don't want to agree with going forward, and that it is…

I do not see the logic. I do not understand how in the world that you can go through the mental gymnastics--you or anybody else in the Administration--to land where you have.

I think the most outrageous aspect of this whole thing--not to mention the fact that we have pleaded with you all to consult with Congress, and we got nothing, no response--is the fact that the tax base will be ceded to foreign…

I don't like it whether it was the Trump Administration, or the Biden Administration forgoing and going around the--taking an end run on Congress.

Too much is at stake for our businesses and economy to let this train leave the station without American leadership and input.

The Global Minimum Tax is designed to level the playing field and put an end to underhanded profit shifting.

American workers and taxpayers have paid the price for a system that rewards large, multi-national corporations...

It is a bad deal for the American taxpayers, it is a bad deal for American workers, it is a bad deal for American businesses just trying to keep their doors open for the next generation of U.S. workers.

The agreement they came back with is so inconsistent with our tax laws that it would tilt the playing field in favor of foreign firms.

Unfortunately, that is not what happened.

Wildfires are just burning hotter, and it's a challenge to fight them.

New York City yesterday had reported the worst air quality in the world.
