This is what Speaker Boehner's GOP leadership team has had to say about taxes:

Washington needs fiscal accountability…not tax increases – GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy

…[I] will…fight for legislation that lowers taxes – House GOP Whip Steve Scalise

…what business needs to grow and create jobs is less taxes…  – Republican Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers

America's high business taxes are affecting our competitiveness, wages, and living standards  – Vice Chair of GOP Conference Lynn Jenkins

We should not have a government that stands in the way, that erects barriers to small business – Ways & Means Chairman Paul Ryan

…raising taxes on…small businesses would only exacerbate…current economic woes – House Budget Chairman Tom Price

Newsflash, Mr. Speaker –you and your team are doing the exact opposite instead of working with House Democrats to increase paychecks for working families.
