this bipartisan group as Democrats and Republican lawmakers for the white house
that board war we're trying to work things out together that's a positive
thing and it's good for the Republicans or the Democrats and this group knows
that very well whether we can do the incredible things
we're doing in working in a bipartisan fashion obviously would be a positive
and I think something Tom that we all feel about I want to thank Tom readings
than the friend of mine for a long time he was there right at the beginning and
there was a very fashionable there and I really appreciate it and Jack Josh got
heimer for helping to organize this very important gathering I think it's really
the whole concept of what we're trying to do is very very important inspired by
the example of our own citizens we should be able to come together to make
government work for the people that's why I was elected that's why I ran and
abroad provide jobs and opportunity to millions of struggling families this
includes tax reform that is pro-jobs pro-growth pro-family and pro-american
very simple full program there are four principles for tax reform make the tax
code simple and fair cut taxes substantially it will be the largest tax
decrease in the history of our country for the middle class encourage companies
to hire and grow in America and by doing that we're going to have to reduce the
taxes for companies right now we're 35 percent and really much higher when you
way of state taxes and and China is at fifteen percent then we wonder why are
we not competing well against China so there are fifteen percent and we're at
thirty five plus and that doesn't work and bring back trillions of dollars we
have trillions of dollars overseas that will bring back and we'll bring them
back quickly so this is money that Josh and Tom and everybody in the
everybody's agreed to bring it back two years but it never gets done so we're
putting it down as part of our tax proposal another bipartisan project that
is urgently needed is infrastructure and infrastructure investment for decades
now Washington has allowed our infrastructure to fall into a state of
total decay and disrepair and it's time now to build new roads new bridges
airports tunnels highways and railways all across our great land when we set
aside our differences and it's amazing sometimes how little our differences are
we put our country and we put the citizens of our country first and that's
what this is all about so we want to have a great new tax cut and tax reform
simplification and massive cuts and we want to get our country working again in
competing again worldwide and there'll be nothing that can stop was on top of
that we'll be discussing probably a little bit of health care because I know
some informations come to light so we'll be discussing because ultimately well we
have some Democrats I want to think I think I can speak for the Republicans
generally but we do want to do something very very powerfully with respect to
Obamacare it has not worked the rates are going through the roof
the numbers that you look at no matter where you go no matter where you look
health care is failing in our country and we're going to get a change and
we're going to get a change fast infrastructure we'll be talking about
and we'll probably also be talking about daca because we don't want to forget
daca and it's already been a week and a half and people don't talk about it as
much we want to see if we can do something with regard to immigration
with regard to the 800,000 people that are now young people that have children
anymore they were children they're young people but we want to see
if we can do something in a bipartisan fashion so that we can solve the daka
problem and other immigration problems so we'll be discussing that today
and then tonight I'm having dinner with Senator Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and
we'll continue some discussions so we have a lot of things in the fire but I
think right now first and foremost so that we can
compete again and especially in light of the fact that we had two massive earth
hands the likes of which I guess our country has never seen I don't think
they've ever seen one was the biggest ever in water and the other was the
biggest ever in wind and then you put up together and we have devastation in
Texas and in Florida and we've done and other parts of our country and I think
we've gotten very high marks for the way we've handled them thus far and we
continue to handle it well but they were they were very big and very powerful and
was very unfortunate but because of that more than ever we now need great tax
reform and great tax cuts so we are here as a group bipartisan to try and see
what we can come up with thank you all very much I appreciated
skeptical of this new corrosive demographic and tell them why have a
leader Pelosi and Senator Schumer over tonight but Sir doesn't prescribe well
I'm a conservative and I will tell you I'm not skeptical and I think that if we
can do things in a bipartisan manner that will be great now it might not work
out in which case we'll try and do without but I think if we can do in a
bipartisan manner if you look at some of the greatest legislation ever passed it
was done on a bipartisan manner and so that's what we're going to hidden step
if you've always been doing if it works out great and if it doesn't work out
great hopefully we'll be able to do it anyways Republicans okay thank you
we're looking at a 15% rate and we want a 15% rate because that would bring us
low not by any means the lowest but it would bring us to a level where China
and other countries are and we will be able to compete with anybody nobody will
be able to touch us so we would like to see 15 percent okay thank you very much
everyone and by the way lower and lower or
individuals much lower than that for individuals and the rich will not be
gaining at all with this plan we're not looking for the middle class and we're
looking for jobs jobs meaning companies so we're looking at for the middle class
and we'll look at a job I think the wealthy will be pretty much where they
are pretty much where they are we can do that we'd like it if they have to go
higher they'll go higher frankly we're looking at the middle class and we're
looking at jobs okay thank you very much thank you thank you
