We should have asked the UAW to do more. We did not ask any UAW member to take a cut in their pay.

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

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.

I think that to simply focus on one or two provisions affecting business as the centerpiece of tax reform is excessively narrow.
