[SIZE=3][B]Jeff Flake (R - Ariz.)[/B][/SIZE] Flake is worried about fiscal responsibility. “I remain concerned over how the current tax reform proposals will grow the already staggering national debt by opting for short-term fixes while ignoring long-term problems for taxpayers and the economy,” Flake said in a [URL='https://www.flake.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=DBAAFC86-8FC3-48F9-897B-E2C8E2407E77']statement[/URL] released last week. [SIZE=3][B]Don't forget: [/B][/SIZE] Like Corker, Flake is a harsh critic of Trump who [B]isn’t running for reelection[/B] .

Johnson argued that the House and Senate bills both [B]benefit large corporations over small businesses[/B] and so-called pass-through entities, whose owners pay taxes on their companies through the individual tax code. “I do, however, look forward to working with my colleagues to address the disparity so I can support the final version,” Johnson said in a statement. [SIZE=3][B]Don't forget: [/B][/SIZE] He also [B]complained about the process[/B] that Republican leadership used to advance tax overhaul efforts. “I don’t like that process,” Johnson told [URL='https://www.wsj.com/articles/republican-sen-ron-johnson-opposes-gop-senate-tax-package-1510777290']The Wall Street Journal[/URL] in an interview. “I find it pretty offensive, personally.”Johnson said the process — which involved congressional leaders and administration officials outlining a plan behind closed doors — was closed to his input. [SIZE=3][B]Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)[/B][/SIZE] Paul has been throwing out aggressive tax proposals, including [B]cutting spending to pay for lower taxes, rather than closing loopholes[/B] in the tax code. He’s also called for a [B]15 percent corporate tax rate instead of the 20 percent rate[/B] in the House plan.

[SIZE=3][B]Don't forget: [/B][/SIZE] Paul has no problem bucking leadership, having opposed many of the GOP leadership’s Obamacare repeal plans. But so far, he’s signaled that he supports the bill. [SIZE=4][B]The moderates[/B][/SIZE] Senate Republicans want to [B]repeal the individual mandate[/B] that requires most Americans to buy health insurance or pay a tax penalty.
