. As of 2021, the Chairman of the RSC is Representative Jim Banks of Indiana. Although the primary functions of the RSC vary from year to year, it has always pushed for significant cuts in non-defense spending, supported free trade agreements, advocated socially conservative legislation, and supported the right to keep and bear arms. It has proposed an alternative budget every year since 1995. In 2007, in conjunction with the unveiling of its "Taxpayer Bill of Rights", it presented an alternative budget resolution that claimed would balance the budget within five years without increasing income taxes. Entering the 117th United States Congress, the RSC is the largest ideological caucus in Congress of either party.

Initiatives

The RSC's key legislative initiatives are detailed in the ''American Taxpayer Bill of Rights'', unveiled in March 2007. # Taxpayers have a right to have a federal government that does not grow beyond their ability to pay for it. # Taxpayers have a right to receive back each dollar that they entrust to the government for their retirement. # Taxpayers have a right to expect the government to balance the budget without having their taxes raised. # Taxpayers have a right to a simple, fair tax code that they can understand.
