“approximately a week ago we celebrated Tax Freedom Day. It is interesting because this year, in 1996, it is 6 days later than we celebrated Tax Freedom Day in 1993. This is the day when across America, hardworking families, moms and dads, keep their paycheck, and they have the dollars to stop funding government at all levels, and the dollars after Tax Freedom Day actually go to their families and their children and to do the things they want to do with their dollars. Americans do not need to look any further than their 1995 tax return to see the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans want Americans to keep more of their paychecks. Republicans want families to save for their futures, and they want more for the families and for our communities across this Nation. We kept our promises to the American taxpayers by passing the first ever balanced budget in 25 years. We passed the $500-per-child tax credit and the repeal of Clinton's assault on working seniors. We want seniors to keep more of what they earn. But unfortunately President Clinton chose to veto these key provisions which were meant to put back power to where power belongs, and that is into the hands of working taxpayers, the working families, moms and dads across this Nation.”
