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. https://t.co/zhgE8vezGs

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.

[Wall Street Journal Opinion @WSJopinion]

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

TRUTH: U.S. has one of most progressive income tax codes in world. Top 1% shoulder 42% of income taxes paid.

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.

“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.”

[Wall Street Journal Opinion @WSJopinion]

American companies are getting hit in 2023 with a variety of tax increases even as the risk of recession rises along with interest rates.

Enjoyed visiting w/@GillianHTurner to discuss danger of new political weapon in Congress to target political enemies, House Speaker race, Rep-elect Santos, GOP tax cuts transforming working families…and more.

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.

[Kevin Brady @RepKevinBrady]

“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.”

[Wall Street Journal Opinion @WSJopinion]

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.

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.”
