Zitat des Tages von Kevin Brady:
We want to deliver tax relief all across the country, no matter where you live.
Americans need health care focused on them, not Washington. They want choices, not more mandates. They want affordable plans with ready access to local doctors and hospitals - not high-priced plans with doctors they don't know.
And again, President Obama's health care plan really is another drag on the economy. Until we get Washington out of the way, this president's recovery is going to continue to rank dead last.
This turbulent world is far from a perfect place.
The speakers I value don't just sound intelligent but can boil down complex issues in a clear, understandable way that encourages the public to think about the solutions.
Tax reform for the 21st century means rewarding hardworking families by closing unfair loopholes, lowering tax rates across the board, and simplifying the tax code dramatically. It demands reducing the tax burden on American businesses of all sizes so they can keep more of their income to invest in our communities.
As chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee - the chief tax-writing body in Congress - I understand that true comprehensive tax reform is tremendously difficult.
Longer and more frequent delays for international passengers at Bush will only cede business to Houston's competitors - and the jobs that go along with it.
The world has changed. It's not enough to simply buy American; we have to sell American, sell our products and goods and services throughout this world.
Under Obamacare - which placed 159 federal agencies, commissions, and bureaucracies between patients and doctors - patients not only face dramatically higher health care costs, they've also lost the power to choose the options right for them.
I've always intuitively liked the consumption-tax model.
Here's my thinking: Since tax reform only occurs once a generation, let's not tweak what we have and call it a day.
Washington knows how to spend money.
As chairman of the tax-writing House Ways & Means Committee, I continue to be inspired by President Reagan's 1985 national address to the American people as he challenged them to join him in boldly reforming the broken, complex tax code.
My belief is that despite all the media hoopla, there is much more that unites Republicans than divides us.
There is a difficult leap between talking about balancing the budget and actually doing it.
For decades, American companies, large and small, have been competing with one hand tied behind their backs thanks to our unfair, outdated tax code.
I'm absolutely confident - in fact, I'm optimistic that by focusing on quality and innovation in Medicare - that we can save that program for the long term in a very positive way.
One of my most rewarding congressional duties is nominating future military leaders to study at America's service academies. The exceptional young men and women who receive these coveted nominations earn a top-of-the-line education and the opportunity to serve their country as a military officer.
We're going to have to find a way to serve our constituents and our taxpayers better and quicker and more accurately with fewer workers. I'm convinced we can do it and we don't have a choice.
The people now trapped in Obamacare did what the government mandated them to do - they complied with the law. They should not be left out to dry.
I know we disagree with Mr. Trump on this area. I'm hopeful that we can convince him that making our tax code more pro-growth will make America stronger, but to do that, it's not enough to simply buy American: we need to sell American all throughout the world.
We need smarter, 21st-century budget guardrails that would gradually trim the size of Washington in order to spur private investment, create jobs, and boost the income of hard-working Americans on Main Street.
The single greatest force for deficit reduction is a growing economy.
The global boom in commodities fueled by a debt-financed infrastructure and real-estate bubble in China is over.
There are real impacts from lowering tax rates, encouraging savings.
If we truly want to achieve lasting economic growth, we need our businesses to do more business - and we need them to do it in America.
We need a simpler, fairer tax code that protects taxpayers. Not special interests.
What we lack is a good, strong business climate with lower taxes, fairer regulation.
One of America's best investments in peace and security is our special relationship with Israel.
Our compassion for one another, and our individual actions to help, is what makes our nation - and our community - great.
Tax reform is the legislative challenge of a generation for America. It hasn't been accomplished since 1986, when President Reagan and Congress delivered the most sweeping overhaul of our nation's tax code in American history. 2017 is the year to change that and make history of our own.
As the American people have discovered, soaring rhetoric is no substitute for effective leadership on the key issues facing our nation: jobs, runaway spending, and an exploding government debt.
I firmly believe Americans are far better off under tax reform than they ever were sticking with this old, messed up, outdated tax code.
Our Savior's birth is the ultimate reminder that miracles happen and often when we don't expect them.
Obamacare's design flaws were not the fault of the American people.
