We spend 18 to $19 billion a year complying with the Tax Code. That ought to tell you something.

Creating jobs and generating economic growth is always a challenge, but it is especially challenging in rural America.

This really is a fairness issue.

I feel strongly that we should not effectively raise taxes on small businesses and families in our current economy.

It is time to give business the predictability they need to invest in next generation of invention or development by making the R&D tax credit permanent.

If you choose to be engaged in the encouragement of the production of so-called 'green fuels/renewables,' then it should reflect the science, not the politics.

It is also paramount that we preserve those policies that have proven successful and allow individuals, owners of businesses and communities to thrive.

We need to move from the current hodge-podge of complex rules that burden our small business owners and hamper our country's competitiveness.

I have heard from companies in Minnesota who say the IRS makes it so difficult to comply with through time and resources that it makes it very difficult for companies to actually take advantage of the credit.

Like it or not, believe it or not, we are moving toward renewable energy, and we are moving there at albeit not the pace we need to, still faster than some are willing to admit we are.

Thank you, Mr. Neal. As I sit here listening to you, I cannot help but think if you and I could just go in a library and skip the rest of the House, the Senate and the administration, we could probably accomplish this pretty quickly.

I use the word 'riddled' not because I believe all these provisions are bad, because they certainly are not.

This passage of the American Heroes COLA Act, veterans will never again have to depend on Congress to act to receive the increased cost of living adjustment they have earned through their service.

Repealing those provisions would have a devastating impact on domestic oil and gas production.

The President's budget proposes to increase the top two marginal individual tax rates, therefore impacting those pass-through entities.

The Tax Code places preference on investment in foreign shipping operations over investment in domestic operations.

The U.S. maritime industry is vital to our economy and national security.

If you have a choice of employing your capital in a place where you can pay a 20 percent tax rate, or a place where the combined federal and state rate is easily 40 percent, where would you want to earn your profits?

In my opinion, we should treat foreign and domestic companies equally.

The time is long overdue to write a Tax Code that better incentives job creation in the United States of America.

Foreign direct investment is critical to growing the economy and creating jobs.

My mom and dad came to America, as I have said before, for a better life. And in America, it was endless potential.

Energy security and comprehensive tax reform are two of the most important priorities we can pursue to create jobs and ensure the long-term strength of the U.S. economy.

Seniors are frightened that they are losing coverage in reality that they had and they liked, that they chose.

The reality on the ground, at least in central Ohio, is people are not being able to keep what they have.
