Jim Jordan: ‘If You Have a Tax Code That’s Broken and Stupid You Might Want to Change It’

EXCERPT:

JORDAN: "Understand where we are at right now. On the personal side, any tax code that says to half the population, 'You don’t have to participate in the main tax,' is broken. Any tax code on the corporate side which says to the American corporations, 'You’re going to pay the highest rate in the world,' is stupid. So if you have a tax code that’s both broken and stupid you might want to change it. That's what this seeks to do. Certainly we have to get rid of the exemptions and deductions and all that complicated stuff in the code, but let's lower the rate, let's make it simpler, flatter and fairer on the personal side as well. That's what the American people want, and frankly, back to our point again, this is something we campaigned on and told them we were going to do."
