    In the last 10yrs, economic growth has averaged under 2%. This is unacceptable. The Senate #TaxReform plan could provide an opportunity to cut taxes, jump-start economy, & simplify tax code. http://goo.gl/DN8yWK

        No need to insult our intelligence, senator. raising taxes on most middle class families, slashing already low Corporate tax rates. And no deductions for student loan interest? I’m a first year physician with $250k+ loans. This is personal.

        Historically, tax cuts don’t improve the economy. You know what does? Citizens having access to quality education, allowing them to pursue meaningful careers.

        CUTTING TAXES does NOT jump start the economy! History does NOT support your position! Raising wages will jump start the economy! Raise the minimum wage!!!!!

        Must disagree, sir. I remember deregulation & corp tax cuts of 1980s. Neither wAs/are good 4 America. Corp, CEOs & wealthy became wealthier. "Greed is good" was mantra. Don't kill our deductions! We'll fill out paperwork! Raise Min Wage 2 LIVING WAGE & u will increase spending.

        As some have already said, middle class drives the economy. Raise minimum wage & middle class wages will rise. Everyone will spend & invest more. Getting rid of individual deductions raises middle class taxes. Corp tax cuts go to CEOs who already make 800% more than avg worker.

        You obviously don't understand real economics, all raising minimum wage will do is CUT jobs...I own a biz now! if I have to pay 5 empl. At a higher rate, all I will do is cut it to 3 empl. 2 jobs lost #CantfixStupid

        Hell, he doesn't have to look far -- Oklahoma's in the same rut. Can't pay for education anymore, teachers are panhandling. Full republican control, can't figure out how to run things on tax cuts.

        And grow the deficit, and raise taxes on the middle class, and allow the wealthy to avoid paying their share. You cannot be trusted. Vote NO

        Oklahoma is drowning in GOP led tax policies, more of the same at the federal level would be disastrous.

        https://waysandmeansforms.house.gov/uploadedfiles/summary_of_chairman_amendment_2.pdf … If this passes under the Brady Amendment churches will be able to funnel money to any and all politicians. There will be no watch dog so a corporation can "donate" to a church or any 501 and be completely invisible. Opens the door for corruption of church

        The reason our country was founded on was division between church and state..No religion could rule. This opens doors for Jerry Falwells and Grahams to buy any politician who is slimey and they will and pay no taxes while filling their pockets. This will hurt charities and church

        You do realize that most companies don't pay the full current tax rate, right? They pay LESS.
