Orrin Hatch actually said...

"The income tax base, which has become riddled with exclusions, exemptions, deductions, and credits, should be as broad as possible."

"You give them the whole bill, and I think they will go for it."

"I am open; send me a good bill."

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