“I listened to people who said they were tired of the liberals with their fingerprints on their wallets and their footprints on their backs, and that they are sick and tired of paying $1 out of every $4 of their income in taxes. They are sick and tired of having to have both spouses in a family work, one of those spouses just to pay the tax bill for the family. One thing they all agreed on across all classes of our society here in these United States was that they felt no family should be paying more than 25 percent of their income in their total tax burden. But what is the average family of four's tax burden? It is at 39 percent, when you include the 24 percent of their income that goes to the Federal Government, with little to show for it. In fact, in 1950, middle-class couples with two children sent $1 out of every $50 to Washington. Today they send $1 out of $4. What more do they have to show for it?”
