We propose a simple rule, that if you earn more than a million dollars, you should pay at least 30 percent tax rate.

I am very concerned about efforts to eliminate or substantially limit the state and local tax deduction.

I do not think that would have the kind of dramatic effect that people have been worried about in the context of a repeal of the state and local deduction.

The tax reform should result in a world where people can do their own taxes, where they do not need accountants and lawyers.

We have a responsibility to the American people to make sure this is rectified and does not happen again.

I am furious that the IRS engaged in ideological scrutiny which is absolutely unacceptable.

So, to be clear, as of this date, there is no factual evidence that this was a politically motivated review from senior officials at the IRS at the White House; is that correct?

To date, it is no.

So as of today, can you tell us why they didn't realize there was a problem with their methodology, and correct it?

Now, since the Citizens United decision, which I strongly oppose, removed limits on independent political donations by corporations and other groups in Federal elections...

Frankly, I was very surprised when I saw that cut.
