Orrin Hatch actually said...

"It would be a costly mistake for tax reform to heap a heavier burden on the middle class."

"The evolution of taxes and spending (and therefore also debt) will be a primary determinant of whether our economy rekindles a successful dynamism."

"I believe there is bipartisan agreement on the need for tax reform."

"Our corporate tax system, as Chairman Hatch mentioned, has the highest rate in the world of any advanced economy."
