Camp, Baucus praise calls for comprehensive tax reform

Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.) and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) issued a statement Thursday praising a call for comprehensive tax reform.

The call to advance and pass comprehensive tax reform to make the current broken tax code simpler and fairer for all job creators was issued by the RATE Coalition and Coalition for Fair Effective Tax Rates.

“Today’s call to action by these two coalitions underscores what job creators across the country have long said: our broken tax code ought to be simpler and fairer so that we will have a stronger economy where there is more investment, greater job creation and higher wages,” Camp and Baucus said. “That is a message we’ve heard from all job creators, no matter how big or small their business. We applaud and appreciate the efforts of these coalitions and encourage them, and those working alongside them, to keep up the fight.”
