John J. Stephens: “As you put more dollars to work in capital investments, you generate demand for jobs.”

High tax rates makes them less competitive, gives them less money to invest, gives them less opportunity to generate jobs.

We are here to support the comprehensive tax reform. We are for it because it will increase investment.

This will be the biggest jobs bill that this Committee could support.

A comprehensive plan that lowers rates and encourages investment would be a win with a prudent tradeoff for all financial considerations.
