“You see, our friends on the other side have suppressed their appetite to raise your taxes long enough, and just like that chain smoker who has to go to the drawer and find that little addiction, they are coming back to it again today with a proposal to raise your taxes $18.9 billion.

No, it would be to spend more money on social programs to the tune of $150 billion over the next decade. If you set your VCR and you ever want to know the difference, play it over and over again, and if you happen to lose the tape, you can just play 'Nightmare on Elm Street' because that is what this tax hike would do to the American people.”
