You cannot afford to make fossil fuels' tax equal to the enormous subsidy that wind currently receives.

The biggest economic boon to this country has been the explosion of oil and gas activity, primarily because of fracking.

Congress passed a bad law called the Windfall Profits Tax. That motivated me to run for Senate more than anything else.

I do not defend 199, period. I think Congress--when you are rewriting the tax code, you should have a uniform corporate rate, not a lower rate for manufacturing.
