The president is 100 percent for extending the tax cuts for 98.7 percent of small businesses.

I don't believe, the president doesn't believe, that the high income tax cuts work, period. I don't think the evidence supports that.

If, if more stimulus means more tax cuts to small businesses, if, if more stimulus means middle class tax cuts, then I'm for it.

The data does not support that high-income tax cuts are the main drivers of growth, so I don't think that uncertainty over what the tax rate will be for someone that makes a million dollars a year has that big an impact on the economic growth rate in the country.

The death tax is one of the leading causes of the dissolution of small businesses.

The American people want us to stop spending. And so let's just give them some certainty. Let's extend the tax - the existing tax cuts. And then let's give some more tax breaks to small businesses and large. And then maybe the American people will have some confidence.
