Bill Cassidy actually said...

"I cannot help but note that we are more prosperous than every country which has a consumption tax."

"If we are going to do tax reform, is it just a matter of lowering the corporate rate so it does not profit them to move overseas?"

"I do not necessarily always agree with economists, but I do in this case think they are probably right when they say that a consumption tax base is more conducive to economic growth."

"I think we can all agree upon that, right?"
