Robert Packwood: “Put simply, it is past time for Congress to stand up once again to fix our broken tax system.”

I have often thought to myself, what kind of a deal could be made between the Republicans and the Democrats that would result in some increased revenue?

Tax reform, if it's done correctly, should promote growth and significantly reduce economic distortions that are present under the current income tax system.

All of us in politics have seen natural leaders. Some of them are inside leaders, like Lyndon Johnson. Some are outside leaders, like Ronald Reagan.

I regret the odious deal I had to make with the oilies, which was totally unjustified and given to them when no other business got it.
