I think we should try to control them, improve them if we can, but the most important thing I think we need to do is fund them properly.

I started this thing talking about simplifying and rationalizing the Tax Code, so I'm envisioning a very simple Tax Code.

Medicare part D raised the deficit forever by about 1 percent of GDP.

My point always is what we ought to have done in 2017, like we ought to do now is simplify it and rationalize it.

I've advocated a value-added tax for many years as a supplement to our existing tax system.

Another problem is if you add it to an income tax you just end up raising massive revenue which I do believe does hurt economic growth.

I think we need a new tax.

I just think that we need proper funding.

I just think that we need proper funding.

So you think we should have a top tax rate of 73 percent.

Fox reporters don't deserve the common courtesy usually extended to journalists. They should be treated like people who do podcasts or write newsletters unfettered by fact-checking or balance. Revoke Fox press credentials. Don't call them…

I do not deny climate change. I'm just not a climate change alarmist.

We've wasted at least $6.2 trillion and had no impact whatsoever.

If the U.S. were to completely go carbon neutral, that would only impact global temperatures by .3 degrees Fahrenheit by the Year 2100.

I don't think there's anything we can really do about it.

We're far better off using limited resources to alleviate human suffering in a different way.

If every country fulfilled their Paris climate change obligations that would only reduce global temperatures by .05 degrees centigrade.
