Andy Puzder: ‘We Really Need To Do Tax Reform’

‘People who do pay tax would give you a benefit’

EXCERPT:

PUZDER: "Well, people that do pay tax would give you a benefit. If you're no paying tax that's not going to give you a benefit. What those people also need is a reduction in health care costs. We’ve got huge health insurance premiums and huge deductibles, so we need a reduction there, and we need to train these people for better jobs so they can increase their incomes. We’ve got 225,000 construction jobs, 388,000 manufacturing jobs that people can’t fill because they don’t have employees with the training. So we need to train people, we need to educate people, we need to get them into better jobs, and we need to reduce their costs which we can do through tax reform and health care reform."
VARNEY: "OK."
PUZDER: "Now, I -- I wish we could do health care reform. We let that one pass. We really need to do tax reform."
