handle is hein.taxfoundation/testhodg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: Testimony of Scott A. Hodge President, Tax Foundation Before the Senate Committee on Finance September 19, 2017 Chairman Hatch, Ranking Member Wyden, members of the Committee, I commend you for taking on the challenge of reforming America's tax code and especially the task of overhauling our outdated business tax system. The most important thing that Congress and the administration can do to boost economic growth, lift workers' wages, create jobs, and make the U.S. economy more competitive globally, is reform our business tax system. I'd like to focus my remarks on reforming the corporate tax system. The tax issues facing pass-through businesses could fill an entire hearing itself. The Tax Foundation generally supports the idea of corporate integration, so perhaps we can address the pass-through sector during questions. My testimony will first outline the policies that our research indicates will maximize economic growth and boost wages, what we call The Four Pillars of Corporate Tax Reform. I will then address the challenges that you will face in crafting a successful tax reform plan-balancing the math with the economics. The Tax Foundation is the nation's leading independent tax policy research organization. Since 1937, our research, analysis, and experts have informed smarter tax policy at the federal, state, and local levels. We are a 501(c)(3) non profit organization. ©2017 Tax Foundation Distributed under Creative Commons CC BY NC 4.0 Editor, Rachel Shuster Designer, Dan Carvajal Tax Foundation 1325 G Street, NW, Suite 950 Washington, DC 20005 202.464.6200 taxfoundation.org
