Ryan: Tax Policy Center Is a Propaganda Group that Is Anti-Tax Reform

‘They are literally making up detail, assuming what Congress will or will not do in order to come up with these talking points’

EXCERPT:

RYAN: "It’s very predictable coming from this group. I think 'Wall Street Journal' got it right, which says this is an anti-reform propaganda group that is anti-tax reform. They are literally making up detail, assuming what Congress will or will not do in order to come up with these kinds of results, to come up with these talking points. We’re talking about cleaning up the tax code, making it so that nine out of ten taxpayers can fill out their taxes on a post card and getting a tax cut for middle income workers, who are living paycheck to paycheck, who are struggling to raise families. And getting our tax rates and our businesses down so they can compete in this global economy. We know. We get tax reform done, that gets us faster economic growth. We know we get tax reform done, that’s bigger paychecks. We know we close loopholes, it’s a fairer tax system so that people pay their fair share and they don’t rig the system. So we’re basically trying to unrig the tax system by getting rid of all the special interest loopholes. That's good for America. It hasn’t been done since 1986."
