ON BIDEN’S $2 TRILLION, JOB-KILLING TAX HIKES: 

What [President Biden’s] failed to explain is what’s wrong with the 21 percent rate? That rate jump-started our economy [and] leapfrogged America to the most competitive economy in the world.”

“In my view, their tax proposals coupled with what we’ve seen out of the Senate will trigger a second wave of U.S. companies moving their jobs and research overseas. Biden’s tax policy actually makes it better for a foreign company to operate in America, than an American company to operate here at home.”

“This policy is very dangerous to blue-collar workers.”

ON REPUBLICAN TAX REFORM GAINS:

We saw more jobs, record-level paycheck growth. […] We ended the signature failure of the Obama-Biden administration, which was so many American companies either moving overseas or being acquired by foreign companies. What is wrong with having the most competitive economy on the planet?”

“Secretary Yellen claimed the tax cuts put American companies at a disadvantage. Just the opposite. We became more competitive both here and abroad as well.”
