Look, only in Washington is not raising taxes considered a tax cut. Nobody's getting a tax cut here. We're not cutting taxes. We're preventing tax increases from occurring.

I'm for tax reform, not tax increases.

I think the tax cut is ridiculous but so am I.

There are some Republicans who say that any time you raise new revenue, you have to have a tax cut to match it. I am not one of those Republicans.

In the middle of a recession no tax increase is justified because it kills jobs, and any tax increase is a job-killing measure and should be defeated.

Tax cuts are like sex: When they are good, they are very, very good. And when they are bad, they are still pretty good.

You don't get an economy growing by raising taxes.

It was an absurd theory that by cutting taxes you would increase government revenues, because the growth of the economy would create an overflow of taxes that would fall into the government coffers.

Tax reform is taking the taxes off things that have been taxed in the past and putting taxes on things that haven't been taxed before.
