write these details." WARREN: "But that is an important deduction for homeowners and middle class people." RYAN: It is an important deduction. So here's what we are saying, there is room in the tax code even with these tax rate deductions for middle class tax preferences, but we don't think there's room for higher income tax preferences. So let's have a debate with your congressmen, with your senators with the people of Virginia to decide what are the best ones to keep for middle class taxpayers. What Mitt Romney has learned as governor of Massachusetts, working with Democrats who dominated his legislature is don't cram everything down their throat. Work with people across the aisle. Say this is my goal, these are my frameworks, let's find common ground to get there. We haven't done this since Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill worked together in 1986 and this is the way they proposed to do it. So what we are trying to do is maximize success to get tax reform. Look, we want a simple tax system, we want a fair tax system, we want lower tax rates that create economic growth and jobs. Our philosophy is approaching this is this: we don't think you should send all your money to Washington and then we'll let you keep some of it if you do what we approve of. We think families and small businesses should keep their money in their pocket in the first place."
