I reserve the right to object. I will certainly look at this and see what can be done, but at this present time, I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.

I rise once again to discuss the state of our Nation's healthcare system. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Massachusetts still has the floor.

I object, unfortunately. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Utah.

I rise to offer thanks and appreciation to a dedicated public servant, Mr. Patrick P. O'Carroll, Jr., who has worked to protect taxpayers and beneficiaries at the Social Security Administration and will soon pursue other activities. Pat…

our national parks play host to abundant animal life, untouched wilderness, and some of the most breathtaking vistas I have ever seen. Anyone who has beheld the pristine perfection of a mountain lake or the verdant green of our valleys in…

I rise today to speak about pending nominees for the Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees. As most of us know, under the law these two Boards consist of the Secretaries of Treasury, Labor, HHS, Commissioner of Social Security…

I rise today in favor of the Congressional Review Act resolution regarding the Department of Labor's new fiduciary rule. This resolution, which provides Congress with an opportunity to express its disapproval with the administration's…

Congress should eliminate the double tax on corporate income. The double corporate tax results in less investment, fewer jobs, and lower wages than if all American businesses were subject to a single layer of tax.

The imposition of new withholding taxes on foreign investors is at best inconsistent with, if not in direct violation of, tax treaties.

the current corporate tax code encourages corporations to finance themselves with debt rather than with equity.

Our tax code's bias in favor of debt financing causes significant distortions in the economy.

the bias in favor of debt under our tax system incentivizes businesses to base financing decisions... on relative tax consequences.

The proposal could have large, negative implications for our economy.

For the most part, he's been very cooperative with us.

the favored tax status of debt incentivizes the use of complicated and often wasteful tax-planning strategies.

I rise to speak once again about the rising cost of health care in the United States. It has been a few months since I came to the floor to comment on the state of our health care system. Sadly, over that time period, we have seen little…

ESSA represents a momentous opportunity for students and teachers alike by removing many of the overbearing Federal policies that stifled classroom instruction in the past.

if you tell me the one person who can get a dividend under the dividend reduction regime without a corresponding withholding tax, I will tell you to whom everyone in the market will sell their stock the day before the deductible dividend…

I just hope we can all work together in the best interest of our country.

Eliminating the deduction for interest and a 35-percent withholding tax on interest are, essentially, the same.

I am concerned about the fact that, if you have withholding on corporate interest but not withholding on other forms of interest, this may induce portfolio effects.

our tax system is in need of fundamental reform.

A better, more efficient system would be one that integrates the taxation of corporate and individual income.

Clearly, we are not going to be able to do comprehensive tax reform this year.
