expensive and make uninsured people often make sure that passed through a steady 5% or 6% cut in taxes. >> senators like john mccain are not committing yet yes or no but repealing the individual mandate would not be a dealbreaker. back to you. lauren: paul ryan was asked by a mandate was not in the house bill during a fox news tax reform town hall last night. >> i was in favor of the individual mandate that we didn't want to name they complicate the passage of tax reform given we did not have the votes to get that to send it. we want the senate to get that done and then we will discuss whether or not it's included at the end. lea: meanwhile, vice president penn pitching "the wall street journal" ceo council gathering. >> will lower the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20% am not a

total months. you think of a hall pass this bill to help take away health care from 13 million people and raise premiums on tens of millions of americans by 10% a year? no, but the way they construct this bill is so backward and so wrong that every day they are in more and more of a not. lauren: i mean, john, is this really hurting the middle class? >> know, the hyperbole on this thing, one thing we know unequivocally, whatever taxable taxes and i do believe we'll get a bill, democrats will say it's the worst possible thing ever and the republicans will say hey, this thing is just going to change the world as we know it. the people at the end of the day have to look at why we are doing it. people get a little bit of relief, not as much as we hope for, but the main benefit for the economy is the benefit of all, the economy is boosted by cutting the corporate tax rates

and working on repatriating capital. would you rather have a little bit of a tax cut or a big stimulation to the economy that gives you more business or a better job. >> that's a speaker ryan said at the town hall, wages will go up 3%. 1 million new jobs will be created with gdp continuing to grow so that is the benefit. at the same time senate republicans are trying to increase the child tax credit so there're many of us to stimulate the middle class here, but unfortunately the other side doesn't see it that way. >> that is right. nothing is new under the sun. senator mccaskill has to be careful. she's a very red state missouri running for reelection and she is outside of the norm on this. missourians get it. lauren: did you know. john, good to see you. >> hey, thank you.
