Statement of Steven L. Hayes, President Americans For Fair Taxation
Chairman Kelly, Ranking Member Thompson, and distinguished members of the Subcommittee:
Thank you for the opportunity to appear before your Subcommittee and to submit this written testimony. My name is Steven Hayes.  Unlike many who come before you, I am not an economist and I do not work for a think tank. 
International Issues relating to Tax Reform – September 8, 2012
Todd McCracken, the president of the National Small Business Association, provides the NSBA’s perspective on international issues relating to tax reform to the Ways and Means Committee.
On November 17, 2011, the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives conducted a hearing on “Could Tax Reform Boost Business Investment and Job Creation.” Mastromarco, who co-developed and oversaw the research on H.R. 25/S. 13, provided the committee with a strong and decisive answer to their overarching question. Mr. Mastromarco stated, “…the solution to this crisis is a consumption tax that makes the taxes we pay visible, ensures all Americans are stakeholders, is neutral as to savings and investment, lowers marginal rates, reduces compliance costs and removes the anti-competitive nature of our non-border adjustable extraterritorial tax system.
