"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."
