We should not be satisfied with the historically low economic growth rate of the past decade. 

Reforming the U.S. tax code is a key component to building economic momentum and growing our workforce. The United States has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, and this tax rate is driving American companies to send their manufacturing and customer service jobs abroad. Lowering the corporate tax rate will keep large businesses from sending jobs overseas, and a simpler tax code would allow small businesses to save money and grow.  Government spending and regulation will not lead us to prosperity – only a vibrant private sector will.
