Political Quotes

“I would like to put the lie to that by history and talk about it in terms that the average American can understand. I would just ask the gentleman a question. Was it not President Kennedy, a Democrat President, who cut taxes in 1960? And is he not the one who said in his famous phrase, a rising tide lifts all boats? And was that not a reference to the fact that if you cut Federal Government taxes when they become excessive that you stimulate the economy and the reference to a rising tide lifts all boats was that it did not just help some, it would help everybody. It is not just going to help the rich or those who are currently employed, it is going to help everybody, at every sector of our economy. And that is our goal. And specifically to help those who are unemployed. I have close friends in Arizona, a close friend who has been unemployed now for quite some time. He does not want unemployment benefits. He wants his job back. And stimulating the economy. That is why I think it is so important.”
