Historically, comprehensive tax reform has only worked when it has been a bipartisan effort. Now is not the time to break that tradition.

The last time a major overhaul of our tax code was successful, a Republican president and a bipartisan group in Congress came together to help the American people by reforming parts of the tax code that weren’t working. That process was the product of years of sustained effort and extensive debate. The end product was not perfect — no piece of legislation is — but it was a monumental achievement. And we would be wise to learn from this history as we make an attempt at the first comprehensive tax reform effort since 1986.

The tax code touches every American’s life, whether you’re a small-business owner creating jobs in our community, a family saving for your child’s college tuition, a senior trying to pay for prescription drugs or an entrepreneur inventing the next medical breakthrough. Tax reform matters to every American, and that’s why I’m calling for a bipartisan approach. It is my hope that by coming together, we can move past partisan gridlock and make a real impact on the lives of families and businesses across the country.
