Taxes
I am committed to the idea that the hardworking families of Ohio know best how to spend their own money and that more of it should remain in their own pockets. Low taxes foster a healthier economy across the board—encouraging entrepreneurship, job creation and improving the international competitiveness of our nation’s businesses.
I will continue to support the extension of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts and will stand adamantly against the return of the marriage penalty, the halving of the child tax credit or the continuation of the death tax. I also support phasing out the oppressive Alternative Minimum Tax and reforming our tax code to make it more manageable and understandable to Americans.

"Obamacare was a bad bill, sold deceptively to the American people, and we've been having buyer's remorse ever since.
"I don't think the hard-working families of Ohio heard anything new from the President tonight. In fact, they heard more of the same type of expensive but ineffective proposals that helped create the $18 trillion national debt we have today. Middle class families across the country understand something that Washington does not: we simply cannot keep spending money we don't have.
During the speech, Rep. Jordan made the following comments:
Once again John Koskinen and the IRS have told us something that has been proven inaccurate. In June, Commissioner Koskinen told Congress that the IRS had confirmed that back-up tapes containing the missing Lois Lerner e-mails had been destroyed.
As I travel the 4th District, I continually hear from people upset that Washington, D.C. seems completely out of touch with the problems the middle class faces in America today. Average Americans think the government is rigged against them. They see bailouts for big corporations and well-connected banks, and handouts to people who are able, but unwilling to work. I share these concerns, which is why I've spent my time in Congress advocating for a government that works for the people, not the other way around.
