I think that for the next short period of time, our No. 1 priority is Congress needs to do its work and extend the payroll tax cut.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My No. 1 priority is growth in the economy. Tax reform will be our first and most important part of that.
This is the people's money, and we need to use it on their priorities. Increasing the pay of members of Congress is not their priority.
It's time Congress got its priorities straight.
My highest priority is to make sure we get Americans back to work. And that we have rising incomes again and that we have a deficit reduction program in place that convinces the world that we're on track to having a balanced budget.
We need long-term tax reform that promotes private sector job creation. And legislated mandates that kill jobs by raising the cost of payrolls need to be eliminated.
Congress should get the job done.
Taxes are just too high - that's obviously a priority.
I do believe that we need to lower taxes on our hard working Iowans immediately.
I'm all for lifting the payroll-tax cap, if only to make payroll taxes a little less regressive.
We're going to cut corporate taxes, which will bring huge amounts of jobs back to the United States.
