Rather than looking at the economic consensus by CBO, JCT, Treasury, and TPC, some on this committee choose to cherry-pick one-off studies from economists outside the mainstream who agree with their political views.

it is time for the Congress to take the lies out of the corporate tax rate in America.

The President's plan gives those folks no crumbs, using the most partisan approach.

The President declared to the Nation that his tax plan would not give any breaks to the wealthy. But the fact is, his one-page tax outline has a new, lunar crater-sized loophole for the wealthy allowing them to abuse pass-through status.

What President Reagan did in 1986 is, he said there would be equal treatment with respect to income earned by a wage earner and income earned by somebody who is in financial services.

There is a blueprint for bipartisan comprehensive tax reform that works, and it is picking up on some of the ideas of the late President Reagan.

Congress should ensure that the value and scope of the deduction for charitable contributions is not diminished

They will be taxed twice on the same income if State and local deductions are eliminated.

the tax system in this country does not work for millions of Americans, particularly working-class people who drive this economy.

But traditional principles of fairness and bipartisanship really do not change. Those are principles for the ages.

It'd be great if what I'm hearing about the goals for individual tax reform actually lined up with the details of the plans that are reportedly in the works, but that just isn't the case.

But if Senator McConnell decides to follow the same template he did on health care, where he brought in a handful of five or six--turns out to be all Senators who look like me, different party, but look like me--join with a few drug…

I advocated tripling the standard deduction.

The tax code, colleagues, in America is a tale of two systems.

I would like to turn to healthcare. For me, healthcare has always been the most important issue. It goes back to my days when I was director of the Oregon Gray Panthers. I have always felt, as a general proposition, that it is…

I am going to make remarks on two subjects and I believe I will go a bit longer than 10 minutes. I ask unanimous consent to speak for up to 20 minutes as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered…

and colleagues, thank you for your courtesy. During the TrumpCare debate, it was clear that unraveling the consumer protections that Americans count on today causes the whole system to come apart at the expense of those who need healthcare…

Tax reform in 2017 ought to be an opportunity to put money back into the paychecks of the cop and the nurse and working families.

These kinds of ethical issues just keep coming up.

The Trump plan would put a big focus on the burden of complexity the tax code heaps on so many middle-class families.

The actual architecture of the plan in the works doesn't reduce complexity or focus on the middle class--the Republican plan endows future generations of the mega-wealthy.
