U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, issued the following statement in response to today's report released by the White House justifying their proposed Buffett Tax:
"Only in Washington will you see a partisan manifesto created to try and justify a campaign tax hike that will create zero jobs, do nothing to lower the price of gas, and has no chance of passing.
"This country deserves a President who will create, not shrink, opportunities for Americans and empower, not punish, them as they strive to reach the American Dream."
