I want to take our corporate income Tax Code from worst in the world to first in the world.

I applaud this Committee for the work to get to that next big idea, and I encourage you to take a look at H.R. 25, the Fair Tax.

The power to tax is the power to destroy, and an income tax destroys productivity.

I think we have won the debate that a consumption tax is the way to get the economic engine restarted here, in this country.

The Fair Tax recognizes that you shouldn't have to have a law degree or an accounting degree to pay your taxes.

We all got elected. I have been here 5 years now. You are fairly new to this institution. Everybody comes with a dream. You don't come because you are looking for new business cards. You come because you want to make a difference for folks…

If there is ever going to be a time to talk about bringing manufacturing back to America, getting back to our exporting roots, that time is now.

I confess I am confused why, as Americans, we are trying to get ourselves in the middle of the pack, in terms of corporate tax rates.

I thank my friend from Ohio for yielding the time to me. Mr. Speaker, I had not planned on coming down here. I know we are on a clock and we are trying to get some things done, but I heard the passionate words of my friend from…

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank him for his leadership on this issue. Say what you want to about freshmen in this institution. I was elected with the vice chairman of the Budget Committee back in 2010, the largest freshman…

This week the Rules Committee issued two announcements outlining the amendment processes for H.R. 3716, Ensuring Terminated Providers are Removed From Medicaid and CHIP Act, and H.R. 4557, Blocking Regulatory Interference from Closing…

We have got our Presidential primary coming up in Georgia in the first week of March, and everybody is talking about what it means to be an American and where it is we want America to go. I love that conversation. I love that it is…

I thank my friend from Texas for bringing this bill to the House. I confess, Mr. Chairman, I have served on the Budget Committee since I arrived in this House 5 years ago, and I have listened to testimony on every single budget the…

It is my great pleasure to yield 2 minutes to a new Member from the great State of Georgia (Mr. Jody B. Hice).

It is my great pleasure to yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Byrne), a strong member of the Committee on Rules.

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 579 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 579 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to…

House Resolution 579 provides for the consideration of the Senate-amended version of H.R. 3762, Restoring Americans' Healthcare Freedom Reconciliation Act of 2015. Mr. Speaker, you will recall that, on October 23 of last year, the House…

I am going to ask the good doctor to close us today. I reserve the balance of my time. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, I have great affection for my friends on the other side of the aisle, but…

I would inquire of my friend from Massachusetts if he has any further speakers remaining. Mr. McGOVERN. Right now, just me.

I appreciate the time. At 1:00 today, back home in Georgia, we are going to lay to rest Reva Mae Jennings. Reva Jennings is an institution in my part of the world, Mr. Speaker. This photo here, you can see, is in the midst of a parade. She…

I would ask my friend from Colorado if he has any other speakers remaining.

To not just celebrate the successes that we are having today, but to associate myself with my colleagues who say the next round of hard work begins tomorrow. There is a reason that we have the funding pay-fors that we have in this bill. It…

By direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 546 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 546 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to…

To say I think my friend from Nevada missed one of those great successes that she had--I will call it the Rodney Davis-Dina Titus amendment--to make sure that localities have even more control over their spending decisions. It is one of…
