Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (pronounced: “Boo-shon”) represents the Eighth District of Indiana, which encompasses all or part of 19 counties in Southwest and West Central Indiana.
Since coming to Congress, Larry has been a champion for advancing patient-centered health care reforms that will give patients and their doctors the freedom to make their own health care decisions as opposed to Washington bureaucrats. He has also been a leader in the fight to end the opioid epidemic, having been just one of eight lawmakers from around the nation recognized by the Coalition to Stop Opioid Overdose in 2016 for his work on the issue. Beyond health care, Larry has also been a recognized leader on transportation issues when he previously served on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
With over 70,000 pages in the current tax code, our system is overly complex and inefficient. I support comprehensive tax reform that simplifies the tax code, closes unfair loopholes, and lowers the overall rate on individuals and businesses in order to encourage job creation, investment, and economic growth. I believe individuals, families, and small businesses should keep more of their hard-earned money. In these challenging economic times, raising taxes on individuals and small businesses is irresponsible and will further reduce economic investment and business growth.
The United States has the highest corporate tax rate of the industrialized world. In order to remain competitive, this rate needs to be lowered while eliminating loopholes that have allowed some corporations to avoid taxes
