“I have been very concerned, Mr. Speaker, about our trade balance in this country. I have been very concerned about the competitiveness of American jobs. I have been very involved in working with the steel industry to address the problem of steel imports.

The tax system that the gentleman just outlined would not tax job creation in basic industry and it would allow us to export tax free. My tax system has many of the same incentives and would allow us to grow capital intensive jobs.”
