Steven Rattner: “I think that to simply focus on one or two provisions affecting business as the centerpiece of tax reform is excessively…”

I would not want to see that be part of the equation to come up with a tax plan that doesn't increase the deficit.

The middle class average American would have gotten a $1,000 tax cut. That is not my view of what a fair and balanced tax plan would look like.

Tax cuts are fine, but they do not pay for themselves, they simply don't.

Sitting where we are sitting now, having done nothing really for 30 years in terms of comprehensive tax reform has cost us millions of jobs.
