Rubio: ‘When It Comes to Tax Reform, This Has to Happen’

EXCERPT:

RUBIO: "Well, I admire Rand's intellectual honesty. I admire his commitment and Rand is a guy that when he believes something, he’s not doing it for show, he believes it, and he has done this for a long time so he has a right to do that. He’s a key part of our team here, and he’s a great ally on multiple different issues. What I’m saying to you is, as a conservative, I know that we live in a constitutional republic. And in a constitutional republic, it’s given us the system of government where somehow we have to share power with people that disagree with us on a lot of things. And that means there are few times when any of us will get 100 percent of what we want. But when it comes to tax reform, this has to happen. It just has to happen. We cannot fail. Forget about the politics of it. America is engaged in a global competition. The world is beating us time and again because we are hurting ourselves, and we need a pro-American tax reform that allows us to rebuild our economy and give people the opportunity to get ahead in life."
