“Americans want and deserve a broad array of health insurance choices so they can identify those that best fit their own individual or family needs. These choices expand when we allow free enterprise to foster innovation, not smother it with taxes and one-size fits all ideology.” WantNeedsChoicesIndividualFitTaxesDeserveInnovationSizeIdeologyEnterpriseBroadsFree EnterpriseOne Size Fits All Author:Fred Upton

“Lots of people commit crimes and don't get arrested. That's not the measure. But if you're going to be the president of the United States, we're reasonably going to put you under a microscope. And Donald Trump's tax behavior is absolutely important to understanding, is he qualified, is he morally fit, is he capable, is he trustworthy to have everything from the powers of federal law enforcement to the nuclear codes?” PeopleImportantUnderstandingPresidentCrimeFitTaxesBehaviorCapableCommitCodeLaw EnforcementTrustworthy Author:Hillary Clinton
“What the Trump tax plan is a plan to give tiny little tax cuts to most Americans, raise taxes on perhaps one in five families and shower benefits on people who earn millions of dollars a year. And this fits with a fundamental principle the Republicans have been pursuing for a long time. The rich aren't investing and creating jobs, because they don't have nearly enough money, and so we need to get them money. And the way the Republicans want to get it to them is tax cuts first, and then to take away help for children, the disabled, the elderly and the poor.” PeopleGivingChildrenLongEnoughHelpingPoorRichCuttingFitRepublicanTaxes Author:David Cay Johnston
“If I were a candidate for running, I'd say, "Look at what the economy has done." It's strong. We've created a lot of jobs. I'd be telling people that the Democrats will raise your taxes. I'd be reminding people that tax cuts have worked in terms of stimulating the economy. I'd be reminding people there's a philosophical difference between those who want to raise taxes and have the government spend the money, and those of us who say, "You get to spend the money the way you want to see fit. It's your money."” PeopleDoneRunningStrongTermEconomyCuttingFitTaxesPhilosophicalDemocrat Author:George W. Bush
