We all want a simpler code, but tax reform is about much more. It is about ensuring that everyone pays their fair share. The tax code is also used to promote behavior that we as a nation support, such as home ownership or charitable contributions.

The important thing about tax reform is you make the tax code less complicated, easier for people to understand.

The tax code can be used to eliminate the toll booths on the information superhighway.

We must reign in overspending by ridding government of outmoded programs, making Big Oil pay their fair share, repealing massive tax breaks for corporations that ship jobs overseas, and enacting a tax code that no longer favors millionaires and billionaires.

I'm for tax reform, not tax increases.

Tax reform is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
