I think it is abundantly clear that we read from the same page. We are so proud of the genius of our private sector in maintaining a leadership position throughout the world.

But if we did have some way of finding out what is painful, but fair...

Now, I think you all agree that 35 percent is too high of a corporate rate, and it does not make us competitive internationally.

I think that you make an outstanding contribution to make American great.

What we have to do is to determine how we can bring equity because there is some outrageous incentives that we have in the Tax Codes.

Assuming that we all agree that our foreign tax system is overly complicated, and it has to be simplified...

Thank you for this opportunity. Unlike so many of my colleagues, I don't have any charts or anything to point out the direction in which I would want my great country to go, but I do have 40 young minds that come from the Frederick…
