this tax reform plan. host: we are certainly supporting tax reform. is this something we are supporting? we are not sure yet. the details make a difference. we are a nonpartisan organization that cares about fiscal responsibility and the growing economy. tax reform, which i think is something pretty much everybody can agree the country needs. -- very fewiry people that say the tax code is perfect and don't touch it. it is incredibly obligated and stands in the way of a growing economy. the distinctions -- the differences will be when they fill in the details. what we will be looking for -- and i think this is an important point about tax reform, does this make the debt worse? one of the goals of tax reform is to help grow the economy and help bring near record levels of national debt down back to more traditional levels. if this adds to the debt instead of makes the debt better, we would not be supporting it. host: i want to get into more details, but also invite viewers to join the conversation. republica

what will remain of the reformation anniversary twenty seventeen well reformation was never a fixed state but always a dynamic process and many were involved in it understanding interpretating and adopting new ideas are complex processes and take time. for them at the fifth sente narry we are very happy that ecumenical trust between the christian churches has constantly grown dialogue is bearing fruit thus this reformation anniversary is celebrated in a global way future oriented and world embracing and human a call for that we're focusing on what we share not what separates us and i just saw that the vatican has published a stamp. image of the portal of the church and these things you cannot imagine a better symbol perhaps in conclusion you will allow me though to make a personal comment as someone from this day it still has a very emotional significance when the thirty first of october one thousand nine hundred eighty nine after tuesday prayers over a piece of town church and castle church more than ten thousand citizens of it and went to the market square in an intentional reference to

framework, under the , there isax reform very little reform. i see a lot of tax cuts. this notion of a budget that would be a framework, a prescription for what our country would be, is one i find extraordinarily disturbing on many, many levels. i'm sure there are many who have , every othert , at leastax reform let's start with revenue neutral. this starts with the presumption that we are going to have a holeion and-a-half hold -- of tax cuts. i believe 1.5 trillion is low. other nonpartisan groups would say this plan would add to the debt and a greater level. i would add with this aggregate debt if you add another 1.5 trillion 2 trillion, 3 , the chairman has background as an accountant, you add a hundred basis points, and you're talking about $180 billion in debt service. clearly, i do not believe is sustainable. will mean that our total debt will equal the size of our economy by 2028, and i believe earlier than that. history is replete countries that allow their debt to surpass their economy. i have heard so many colleagues on the other side of the i'll talk about

the prospects for a tax reform bill. this is one hour.

and how do you define reform? creating a be about larger more dominant state owned enterprise in a more powerful role for state companies, not a less powerful role, and that takes some oxygen out of major sectors were private companies could play a greater role. been at that there has slowdown in private investment and much of the growth is dependent on infrastructure spending, all these things will need to be a dressed, but there are questions over how much appetite president xi jinping has for tackling these reforms, because the last five years is all about politics and getting a and alsohe party reducing the role of collective leadership. rishaad: thank you for that. getting straight to the speech itself. here is president xi jinping. society and it is a crucial period in chinese history. the main thing for the congress mission,ember our raise great banner of chinese for a prosperous society. the great victory of the great chinese society and relies a great dream of great china. remember the past. we will achie

want to talk about tax reform. according to the opponents of reform, our plan will cut taxes on the super rich. our plan will raise taxes on the poor. our plan will harm the middle class. to plan is a giveaway corporations. these are on claims given that as of right now no plan exists. we have a framework. not commenting on that for pr reasons. we have principles and targets. our leaders have agreed upon this framework, and it makes finance ways and means committee have been tasked with the details and writing legislation. here are some of the details not included in the framework. income thresholds for individual tax brackets. the framework includes rate targets but the breakdown of those brackets is still to be determined. anticipates an increase but does not specify an amount. the existence and rate of the highest bracket. our document leaves room for the creation of a fourth bracket at the high end, but it does not include any rate target. safeguards to prevent abuse from recent past three rates. these are just

reformation special. lights. i'm on my way to bit better this year the town where martin luther once lived and worked is the place to be in germany protestant christians around the globe are celebrating the five hundredth anniversary of the reformation and have been coming here in droves and of course i'm not going to miss out on that. but today my view back is at least as beautiful as it was five hundred years ago when martin luther used to live here back then people came from near and far away just to hear him teach and because of his place in history they still do. that will be checking out the former monastery that was home to martin luther for thirty five years. globe trotters the painter sends us sunny regards from allentown to take in spring. and our e-mail of the week shows india in all its colorful glory. and birthplace of the reformation my first stop is the market square which has always been the heart of this charming little town in saxony on out. and five centuries on martin luther refined the maps h

revolutionary and reformer martin luther. became a record holder in twenty seventeen as the bestselling playing. time. of thought all right well another highlight this year is a huge a panoramic photograph designed by a german iranian artist. c.z. the exhibition and titled the luther fifteen seventeen depicts the life as it would have been during martin luther's time and like other works this is as close as you're going to get to travelling back in time. posing full of history and attention to detail if it can bear it invites visitors to take a trip back in time to the reformation and experience the lives of monks beggars merchants journeymen and prince electors as a decide as soon as we entered we talked about how real it seems like. a verdict does to pull this off or temporal sequence with a single picture to shop for so that the history of the reformation is depicted as what a fantastic experience it is because a little as it appears. at the circle surrounding you you almost think you are in the middle ages and in the us.

approvings the budget focused on program tax reform does just that. i yield the floor and reserve the balance of the time. >> mr. president? >> the senator from vermont. >> i ask unanimous consent to be permitted to complete my remarks before the senate recesses. >> without objection. >> mr. president,

the reformation a special. your moment.progress but where they start to divide the country i do mean where they start to divide the money which your blood will flow for cause. so the soviet union is breaking up part. of. the members of the russian federation would have to find their own way politically and economically while some of it was an incredibly difficult task not most of which you would find this democracy was a lie this is your delectation where frauds that say privatization was robbery. the soviet union's heritage where does russia stand today and moscow's empire our series starting november fifth on w. listening and then fresh d.w. hook up we speak your language being dug up. for content in dari pashto and order prospects for returning our web special to the net the refugee journeys of life in germany and the prospects for those returning home. join the discussion on t w dot com and on facebook. prospects for returning s d w may for minds. health. but here it's too long. solidarity. they fall by the wayside when

obviously tax reform. we're hopeful the house will, tomorrow, pass a budget that will open the door to begin the process of tax reform in the ways and means, and finance committees. we're going to be confirming a number of judges, beginning with a couple of district judges that i filed cloture on yesterday. the president also talked about his upcoming announcement on opioids. we have a national epidemic of historic proportions, and the administration is correctly ceased on this issue as something important to the american people. we need to get a handle on this as best we can and president will be talking about that, excuse me. and the president will be talking about that later in the week. >> the leader mentioned one of the big points that the president wanted to cover today is what we can do to help ordinary americans, middle income families, improve their economic standing, and that is really what the focus of tax reform is all about. a lot of middle income families had a very tough time during the past

you have to be identified with reform and show you are the bearer of reform. that is the main reason for this work appearing so often. its actual meaning is not settled in this sort of message. david, how far does report also mean keeping people happy, content, and giving them jobs? is that the ultimate goal he has to have? the biggest challenge he faces is china attempts also simultaneously to go up the value chain. yes, that is clearly in the mix. be withinust always the framework of the party preserving its leadership. the language of reform that we of thesethe last 2012,gs in 2013, sorry, in its first year in operation. the big statement of economic lines was more along the that you have mentioned. it was much more about market forces. it is market forces that, for example, provide food security. as for the first time this year, china abandoned the expression sufficiency" in food. they depend on the world market for this basic likelihoods. it does not have much to do with a report as much. it has a long way to move that has been kept very quiet. stayl of i

i'm in favor of doing tax reform, but i think tax reform ought to be revenue neutral. we'll have to be revenue neutral. we have a $21 trillion debt. >> the budget passed this week, in it, it is estimated that the tax plan could add to federal deficits by $1.5 trillion over ten years so are you abandoning that promise to do whatever you can with tax cuts to make it revenue neutral? >> no, actually, we're not. because that's a rather conservative estimate of how much growth you'll get out of this pro-growth tax reform, which reduces rates for the middle class, which makes it considerably less likely that jobs go overseas, by correcting business taxes in such a way that produces more jobs and opportunity. i actually think it's a fairly conservative estimate of how much growth we're likely to get out of this pro-growth tax reform that we're in the middle of accomplishing. >> well, you're arguing now that they're going to spur growth and then that, in the end, will make the tax cuts pay for themselves. but there's really no evidence, historically, that that happens. i'll ju

but tax reform is really hard and jeff has written the best book i've ever read, not just on toks reform, but period. it's really hard to get done and what we've seen gradually from a really good starting point where all the leaders on this topic said we'll have revenue neutral tax reform and i want to point out it's been done before. dave camp had a bill. the simpsons bowles commission had a plan. the bush tax panel had revenue neutral plans, 1986 revenue neutral. you can definitely do it. the shift has come to tax cut and this budget that is about to pass, i want to talk about the budget, it's stunning what's about to be in the budget. the house is about to take a budget from the senate. house republicans, up to five, six, seven years now insist that they have budget set balance and now a chance to pass a budget and enact it. they're going to take the senate budget that doesn't balance rather than the house budget that does. i support a lot of policies that the house republicans have talked about in the past, but talked about cutting spending and entitlement reform. we're going to spen

but tax reform is really hard and jeff has written the best book i've ever read, not just on tax reformit's my favorite book period. it's really hard to get done and what we've seen gradually from a really good starting point where all the lead ornse this topic said we're going to have revenue neutral tax reform and i want to point out, it's been done before. dave camp had a bill, the simpson-bowles commission had a plan, the bush tax panel had revenue neutral plans. 1986 was revenue neutral. you can do it. but the shift has come to tax cuts. i think this budget that's about to pass, i just want to take a second to discuss the budget because i have to say it's stunning to me what is about to be in this budget but the house is about to take a budget from the senate, house republicans, after i think five, six, seven years now, insisted they have budgets that balance, now they have a chance to pass a budget and enact it, they're going to take the senate budget that doesn't balance, rather than the house budget that does. and the house republican, i'm a huge independent, i support a lot of

upcoming tech reform -- upcoming tax reform legislation. it was the first party conference meeting the president has attended at the capitol. here is a look. >> trump is treason! trump is treason! why are you talking about tax cuts when you should be talking about treason? announcer: you may have heard of the president walked, a protester shouting "trump is treason," and throwing russian flags at the president. according to a story at the hill.com, the man could also be heard shouting "why are you talking about tax cuts when you should be talking about treason?" the man identified of ryan clayton of virginia was arrested and charged with unlawful conduct. senate republican leaders spoke to reporters after their weekly party lunch, which president trump attended. majority leader mitch mcconnell said the meeting focused on tax reform legislation and was productive. sen. mcconnell: good afternoon everyone. as you know, we had the president to lunch. i would highlight several things i think will be front and center at the end of the session. ob

this question of tax cuts versus tax reform. which is which. why are we calling this reform? why did we call the other bills during the bush era tax cuts. are we pore one or the other. the first key and this is i think consistent with what grover was saying, it's not a binary choice. if you ask academics not politicians who say tax policy, that is tax reform, generally the answer is it is moving it from the tax code we have to one where we get the same amount of revenue in a better way. so instead of doing it in a way that hurts the economy, try to figure out how to collect revenues in a way that hurts less. that often involves first and foremost lowertach rates. and so i think if you think how to message some of these issues we've heard over the last year or so as this debate has heated up folks talking about that concept and oftentimes the way that's messaged is people say i'm for tax refor and want to cut taxes, tax rates and close loopholes. if you say it that way, it sounds pretty good because people aren't in favor of tax loopholes. there's another way to say the same t

tremendous focus on pro growth reform. and at the same time, entitlement reform. and that was the way we were going to solve our nation's fiscal issues. look, i'll admit. ever since election day, it seems like a light switch has gone off as it relates to those kinds of issues. and it does feel like to me up here it's party time. that serious issues, serious discussions about fiscal issues are not going to take place. and that's disappointing to me. and i think the greatest threat to our nation is our fiscal issues. it's not north korea. it's not isis. it's ourselves. it's our inability to deal with this longer-term issue. and every year that goes by gets worse. it's been that way under republican and democratic administrations. it's been going on for a long time. as a matter of fact, it's been rare in modern times that we have had a president that really cares about this issue. we have had a couple. so i look at this as purely an exercise to try to move us towards some pro growth reform. we have some -- we have some issues on the senate floor that the house doesn'

the health care reform, obama care reform, has not happened.ve nothing happening much on infrastructure at this point in time. although there are a lot of plans to do that, we have not seen anything yet. i think the ability of this administration to get tax reform is crucial not only for the 3% plus growth, but also for the image of this administration. yvonne: if we do not get this senate budget resolution process through, does that mean tax reform is dead? bill: i think they will be able to get that through. you have all sorts of timing on the tax reform. initially the secretary of the secretary said he hopes the spring he helps to get something by the end of august. obviously that did not happen. some are talking the beginning of next year. this is one where you see the president is going to extend his hand, his discussion and press conference with mitch mcconnell the other day really shows he is going all-out to get the republicans on board. because instead of criticizing mitch mcconnell, who by the way, i think as one of the toughest jobs

of course the focus is tax reform. house speaker paul ryan later in the week delivering a speech on tax reform. the holdup is actually the senate which is not in session this week. the senate on vacation back next weekend. the senate has to still pass a 2018 budget resolution before both chambers can then pass whatever is the combined bill in the budget resolution and budget resolution and move on to tax reform. still, optimism all of this will happen towards the end about to overcome the beginning of november and some democrats talking about working with republicans on tax reform. representatives from cuellar is on board for some kind of tax relief. >> i want to support some sort of tax reform. i don't know because we don't have the details. certainly i want to see corporate tax rates going down so we can be competitive with other countries. i want to see individual taxes go down. but i do want to have an emphasis on the middle class. cheryl: if you're keeping count of how many days i left for both chambers to descend

of the reformation. pastor your highness bukan haagen the reformer philip milan thought here share in carrying out a baptism with lucas kind of himself at his side many of the former nuns found refuge in these men's homes in parsonage for example in some cases for years. an unmarried woman five hundred years ago stood almost no chance of providing for herself other than by working as a servant or a prostitute catalina from bora learned that in the time that she was put up in the crime a household you will have to marry who anyone anyone. does ireland bit on the new role of reform as well advocating for women was a life as a wife and mother as a woman was to be the head of a household she was to be in charge in the home and raise the children and feel it is all he can at sea and. and she was to do that in line with the new face for that women had to be able to read the bible in his pamphlet advice to the city councillors of all german cities martin luther urge something completely new the establishment of

reform is a word that resonates here too.u are exactly the kind of guy that emmanuel macron believes in. you know, you are highly flexible. do you have faith that, let's say five years from now, that five years of emmanuel macron‘s reforms, can really change the lives of people in this neighbourhood? take the train south, out of paris, and a different france comes into view. just as with trump's rise and the brexit vote, metropolitan attitudes do not always travel well. this is riom, my first time here. so ijourneyed to the rural auvergne region, for a different take on france's readiness for reform. riom is home to 19,000 people, a country town shaped by farming, small business and traditional values. just outside town, the tobacco harvest is in full swing. this region has long grown the leaf at gauloises and gitanes. these days, imports have replaced much of the home—grown supply. but here, they still make a tidy profit from virginia tobacco. is it true to say that tobacco farming and growing is really part of the tradition

i want to start with tax reform. we can just say, why do we need tax reform? i think it's self-evident. our tax code, as you heard, is the most burdensome in the world. it stiffles economic growth, entrepreneurship and it creates noncompliance. and so we need to simplify it and we told the american people we were going to do that if we get in charge. and i think the repeal of -- acare -- and some people the affordable care act, it has disrupted our economy and i think it's not affordable. i know our premiums went up $11,000 since i came to congress. in fact, our policy got cancelled when i came to congress because of obamacare. i think the third part of that, we promised the american people we would repeal this in its entirety and fix health care so that people have access to health care, it's affordable and it's quality care is the part that gets left out. and then i want to touch on border security. this is something we have all run on, and this is something that any nation needs a secure border. a sovereign nation has to have a secure border, and they have

but you also have to reform entitlement programs. >> dickerson: could you tie entitlement reform to this? >> you could, but i think we'd kill tax reform if we did. let me show you one piece of evidence, the senate can't get health care out of the senate. something that is proven to fail is tax reform, why would you do that? >> dickerson: that lead us to politics. affordable care act didn't make it through in the senate why is it going to make it through? >> tax reform? i think it will make it through for a few reasons. number one, we did this on the front end we negotiated a framework so that we all agree what thisth needs to look like. in health care what we did we passed the bill in the house, then senate looked at our bill decided to go a different direction. here we are. we have more consense on tax reform and less consensus on health care reform. >> dickerson: i don't hear you talking about working with democrats. but do you work with them on this? >> we're not going to give chuck schumer the ability to filibuster. do we want democratic involvement, absolutely. did the president hav

the tax reform bill is likely going to be a big topic of discussion. as you know the senate passed the budget resolution and this week the house have to do it. this is something they really wanted to do. >> what is the game plan for the president? what is success when he leaves this meeting with senate republicans? >> that's a good question. success will be having the caucus united around this issue and what he wants to get done and having senate republicans lean on house members to get them in line with the bill. >> take us through the timeline for tax reform. what needs to happen this week and the next couple weeks to keep this on track as the president hopes to get this done before the end of the year. >> now we have the obvious thing to be done by thanksgiving. the first thing is to get the house to pass the budget resolution. the budget resolution is the outline for what will be in the tax bill. it set some sort of topline numbers. the challenge for the house is they will have to swallow what the senate did which is allow for trojans. for some con

this is not tax reform. any tax cut, any agenda like that has to be bipartisan in order for it to be sustainable. so let's come to our senses here. common sense says -- well, athematics say if you take money away from many to give to the few, you won't have equity income in our country. this is the wrong thing to do. it's not what our values are about. it's really a shame that they would even bring such a document to the floor. and anybody who lives -- anybody who lives in a district where their deduction, the tax deductions for state and local taxes are taken away from individual filers but not for corporations, as the bill determines, to the tune -- i can read you all the statistics across the country about how devastating this is. as our own governor said, how could they do that to our state or any state without the department of finance of our states saying, wait a minute, understand what this does to the economy of our state? understand what this does to our individual filers in our state. who said that

republicank at the tax reform proposal.elbeneady and suzan join this group by realclearpolitics area they discuss the republican tax agenda. this is about 90 minutes. [applause] >> i will make a brief introduction. you know who kevin brady is. you know him as the house ways and means committee chairman. when i arrived in washington, i thought powerful was part of the title. in the black hills of south dakota, cap remember -- kevin remembers playing track at central high school. playing for legendary dave bluth who died early this year. got 34 state championships, two of which when you were there. kevin brady: it was the early 1960's. carl: chairman brady still plays. he is a two-time m.v.p. for the republican congressional game. he played last summer. some of you might have seen them. seven -- line up at second base. he lost his job to a man who beat him out, and he left the practice field before the game because he was asked if he could take some grounders. he said no. steve scalise has won the job, select him be there. i

reformation. born at the end of the middle ages the artists lived and made their fortune in a world that was rapidly changing both father and son embody ideas associated with the term a renaissance a time of revival and a people in art. in the. in. the contacts works have been studied by generations of scholars but many questions remain unanswered going to hard you know and in goes on our art historians and restorers here in massive book the drill they're studying an altar piece that came from the konak workshop in the year fifteen thirty seven. who painted it is it the work of connacht the elder or the younger or was it done by a workshop assistant. using an infrared camera the historian's revealed the under drawing that normally cannot be seen the signature style may tell them who did the work. but these are come akin to tif and with this camera we can look deep into the picture beneath a visible layer of paint and expose the artist sketch and woolsey. we're now taking a close up of this section

, tax reform, and more tax reform and have it done by the end of this year. our economy, the american worker deserves it and needs it and president trump campaigned on it and so did every member of congress that's in there right now. when real quickly, i am curious because this is a very business board room like behavior from the president. he had a lot of lunches, has a lot of meetings. what does it do for communication because you see him have a rift with a guy like senator corker and you're saying corker probably want to attend, but we don't know. >> sandra: he's on his way to lunch, he is going. >> david: who knows if he will come or not and it's unimportant. i hope that story line doesn't dominate the day. i hope the conversation about tax reform in the senate, a commitment to get tax reform done this year, our economy needs it. unemployment is down, the dow is up. we have all these economic indicators. if we could have this infusion of capital into the system is going to be generational change. >> harris: is really is a huge debt. you've got the budget,

but tax reform is really hard and jeff has written the best book i've ever read, not just on tax reformit's my favorite book period. it's really hard to get done and what we've seen gradually from a really good starting point where all the lead ornse this topic said we're going to have revenue neutral tax reform and i want to point out, it's been done before. dave camp had a bill, the simpson-bowles commission had a plan, the bush tax panel had revenue neutral plans. 1986 was revenue neutral. you can do it. but the shift has come to tax cuts. i think this budget that's about to pass, i just want to take a second to discuss the budget because i have to say it's stunning to me what is about to be in this budget but the house is about to take a budget from the senate, house republicans, after i think five, six, seven years now, insisted they have budgets that balance, now they have a chance to pass a budget and enact it, they're going to take the senate budget that doesn't balance, rather than the house budget that does. and the house republican, i'm a huge independent, i support a lot of

that would have been his obligation to reform something that was not reformable it's a mistake and it's cynicism. fans of luther shaking their heads to the exhibition at the hour is called ninety five people it looks at figures who have a specific connection to martin luther. martin luther king's has the name of course . and there's the english king and henry the. less obvious might be swedish author astrid linger and she put some of luther into her characters. i caught on out into it there is a line from carlson on the roof that was unfortunately not reproduced in the translation us whenever something goes wrong for carlsen he says it's just a worldly thing that's based on a quote that luther formulated. for me at the. back of the old prison luisa shudder has dedicated her work to the women of britain barack is famous as martin luther's shrewd wife qatar enough on board the artist hopes to change that with this plaque for example it commemorates a nine hundred eighty seven general strike but never actually happened. short of hopes it will inspire the people of britain back. to stand do

reform isa skyhigh youth unemployment. reform is a word that resonate here as well.ay, it seems to me you are exactly the kind of guy that emmanuel macron believes in. you are highly flexible.. do you have faith that lets say in five years from now, five years of emmanuel macron's reforms, can really change the lives of people in this neighbourhood ? take the train south, out of paris, and a different france comes into view. metropolitan attitudes do not a lwa ys view. metropolitan attitudes do not always travel well. this is my first time here. ijourneyed to a region for a different take on france's situation. home to 19,000 people, a country town shaped by farming, small business and traditional values. just outside town, the tobacco harvest is in full swing. this region has long grown the leaf and these days in imports have taken over by here they make a tidy profit. is it true to say that tobacco farming and growing is really pa rt tobacco farming and growing is really part of the tradition of the communities around here? really part of the tradition of the commu

tax reform, tax cuts do not pay for themselves. if they are smart they do grow the economy but in order to pay for themselves, a tax cut of one dollar would have to generate five to six times of economic growth. that's not going to happen. i would hope we can do to make this tax on the best can be is to remove -- move into the room of reality think about what is reasonable growth and build that into what we talked about. >> host: grover norquist was on this program last week, a supporter of this legislation. he was one persons making the point some of these costs could be paid for through larger economic growth over the next decade. here's what we had to say when we talk to them about your estimate about the cost of the republican tax . >> what analysis out there from the bipartisan committee for a responsible federal budget said its initial analysis of this plan showed the plan would add 2.2 trillion the deficit over the next decade. >> first of all when we talk about the cost of the bill that really tells you what a politician or

reform and opening when he unlocked avenues of productivity through agriculture reform so we reform and opening up to foreign direct investment of course that change post post crisis when they relied more on on debt specially credit fueled investment and so very much investment driven at the moment and that's why you're seeing increasing levels of debt with it with structurally lower growth rates will come to the debt in the second but can the long run of growth that you mentioned continue looking forward if i get you to dabble into a crystal ball a little bit. no i don't think it's not possible i think it one of the things that one of those that has sustained growth over this long period time of course has been demographics have as well they've benefited from what's called a demographic dividend where they've had increasingly a larger labor share of the population that also has fueled growth but now china's facing a much different demographic situation where demographics are increasingly going to be a drag and so it's going to be very difficult if anything next to impossible to sus

i know bob, who supported the budget, wants to get tax reform, the president wants to get tax reform. i'm glad they're coming -- i'm glad the president is coming to lunch. i long believe it's best to settle these things in person and i hope that they can get a chance to do that. sherman. >> [ inaudible ]. >> wait. you're going to go on. >> you guys last time [ inaudible ]. republicans a piece of the government responsible, sober leaders in government and the president is saying elected, corker is calling him a liar. what should voters think about this? >> what they should think about are the results we achieve for the american people. so you know what we're focused on, what's within our control and within our control here in congress is getting stuff done for the american people and getting a healthier economy, bigger paychecks, more take home pay. that is important. at the end of the day, i know bob well, bob is going to vote for tennessee he's going to vote for america, he's going to vote for tax reform because he knows it's in the best interest of americans, so put this twitter dis

when we talk about tax reform, we think about the second component of tax reform which is about growing our economy so the jobs of the future are created and manifested here at home. if i could say it as simple as possible, i would say that this tax reform conversation is about "#keepyomoney." [laughter] >> peter roskam. >> thank you, speaker. think about it. i can pull out this phone and click on an app for an airline, click on a flight and a seat, and receive a ticket sent back to me. this all happens in the blink of an nine. of an eye. there is an expectation we move forward as it relates to tax reform. at a time when the entire internet did not exist from a commercial point of view, at a time when there was very little globalshared communication we have today, this is a transformational moment for us to dump 70,000 pages of complexity and to move something that is buoyant and inviting and ultimately transformational. >> member of the senate finance committee. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i see this as an amazing opportunity and a responsibility for us to enact the legislation that wil
