Political Quotes

“My colleagues, we are engaged in a great debate, a great debate which could only occur inside the beltway. The American people have no doubt about tax cuts. To listen to my colleagues on the other side, they simply do not get it. There is one fundamental message in America today. It is that the Federal Government is too big, it taxes too much, it spends too much, and it regulates too much, and the American people have no debate about that issue. My opponents, when they talk about deficit creation and how this tax cut will create deficits, it is shocking. They created this deficit over the past 40 years, and now they want us to continue to pull an outrageous sum of money out of the pockets of the American people to pay for the deficit they created. Amazing. It is time to give money back to the American people. We have increased the tax burden on American families twelvefold since 1950, the year I was born. Enough of that outrage. I say to my colleagues, 'They say they know better how to spend your money. I say you, as the American people, know how better to spend your money. I call on my colleagues to support this tax cut today.'”
