“high taxes and low morals, that seems to be the winning formula these days for the leader of the free world. Not long ago, one of the leaders of the Democrat Party said on the House floor, and I quote, that ``Democrats are not in favor of tax cuts.'' I think average middle-class Americans do deserve better. When Uncle Sam takes one-third of a middle-class family's income, it just plain is not fair. Mr. Speaker, I find it rather absurd for liberals to assert that the government cannot get by on a little less so middle-class families can have a little more. We read almost daily about government programs that do not work, bureaucracies accountable to no one, and misguided social programs that actually make people worse off than if nothing had been done at all. Government is too big and taxes are too high. It is time to reverse course, change our priorities, and make a moral commitment to reduce the tax burden on middle-class families.”
