From @WSJopinion: The U.S. economy has suffered a poor growth record in the 21st century. Placing a renewed focus on saving, investment, innovation and business creation can reverse this decline, write @RepKevinBrady and @djheakin.

The expiration of Trump’s tax cuts next year gives Congress the chance to write an even more pro-growth code.

From @Comm4Prosperity: Wealthy pay more of income tax burden after 2017 tax reform #TCJA. Top 1% taxpayers share of total income taxes paid grows a whopping 22.7% to 45.8% from 2016-21. Bottom 50% taxpayers share shrinks 23% to 2.3%. TCJA: tax code MORE progressive.

A reduced tax rate wasn’t a “giveaway” to large firms. It set off an economic boom and increased wages, write @RepKevinBrady and @djheakin

The law created a fairer code and encouraged growth. Congress should now go even further.

TRUTH: U.S. has one of most progressive income tax codes in world. Top 1% shoulder 42% of income taxes paid. Debunks liberal claims that wealthy don’t pay “fair share.”

The income tax code is steeply progressive, as 2020 IRS data show.

Thx @ylanmui for your professional, fair & well-researched coverage of all things economic, including tax policy on Capitol Hill. Hope your net adventure is a great one!
Some personal news -- Today is my last day at @CNBC. I'm so grateful to my amazing colleagues for teaching me the ropes of TV and for their support and friendship over the past six years. It's been a great run, but I'm ready for a new adventure.

The ingenuity of @NormanEBorlaug, father of the Green Revolution, is credited with feeding the world. Ingenuity of U.S. technology will address climate change w/out energy poverty or killing off traditional energy jobs as #GreenNewDeal demands.

“Employers getting hit with tax increases even as risk of recession rises” thx to #Biden #Democrats so-called Inflation Reduction Act. “This won’t help economy that needs more supply-side investment to counter higher interest rates.”
American companies are getting hit in 2023 with a variety of tax increases even as the risk of recession rises along with interest rates. https://t.co/R6NgyiWfLO

After 50 years banned, the “enemies list” is back in DC. My biggest worry is this dangerous new political weapon will target & destroy private citizens who land on that list. And yes - thx to Jan 6 panel precedent of subpoenaing members of Congress - lawmakers at risk too.

“Congress has never before released a private citizen’s tax information. It won’t be hard for partisans (in either party) to justify seizing & releasing anyone’s returns.”
House Democrats’ release of Donald Trump’s taxes is a violation of taxpayer privacy with no legislative purpose, and it could open an ugly new battlefield in American politics. https://t.co/AQrfnpBu5d

Three years after pandemic, the Democratic “Capitol lockdown” ends. Finally. @GOPLeader: “Opening the House is more than just a symbolic measure — a government of the people, by the people, for the people, requires interaction with the people.”
