WASHINGTON - Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today made the following statement after President Obama laid out his Framework for Business Tax Reform:
“I applaud the work of the President and the Secretary in making clear that reform must be driven by a clear set of goals, not only a number. The Administration has put the focus of corporate tax reform where it needs to be: on promoting investment, job creation and especially manufacturing in the United States, not overseas. Effectively reforming our corporate tax system will require constructive and open-minded dialogue on all sides regarding responsibility and equity in our tax code and the appropriate level of private-public roles in our economy."
