Follow the first year in Congress of Freshmen Reps. Kay Granger (R-TX) and Jay Johnson (D-WI)
As people across the nation strive to complete their 1040s prior to the April 15th deadline, in Washington the annual event always marks a day for debate on the tax system in America. The House already has planned a series of votes on tax-related measures including a billed to require a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress to raise taxes.
Our forum guests this week are Representatives Ellen Tauscher (D-CA) and Mike Pappas (R-NJ). Both participated in a forum on Feb. 19. Pappas has worked for a balanced budget amendment and tax relief since coming to Congress. Tauscher, who is a member of the "Blue Dog Democrats," has also maintained a conservative economic stance.
Our forum asks: What is the state of the tax system in the United States? How should the Congress address the tax system? Can America afford tax cuts? Can America afford not to cut taxes?
