What we need is fundamental tax reform.

For years, comprehensive tax reform has eluded legislators.

We need to stop kicking the can down the road and rethink our entire tax system toward long-term, comprehensive tax reform.

I think we can have some tax reform, but that doesn't mean tax increases. We ought to make the, the rates flatter. We ought to get rid of a bunch of those loopholes.

Tax reform is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

Here's my thinking: Since tax reform only occurs once a generation, let's not tweak what we have and call it a day.

We need to restore the Bush tax cuts or actually make them permanent.

I'm for tax reform, not tax increases.

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.

Our current tax system is broken.
