On the recordMay 21, 1996
I just wanted to point out again, so as to not deliberately mislead our colleagues and the American people, following this debate, this 4.3 cents per gallon gas tax increase imposed by the President and congressional Democrats does not go into the Federal highway trust fund, does not pay to maintain our Nation's highway transportation infrastructure or for our mass transit programs. What I was going to ask the gentleman, I very much appreciate the distinguished chairman yielding to me, if you cannot cut taxes, the repeal of this gas tax increase amounts to a $48 average savings to the American family. If you cannot cut taxes by at least $48 on average for the American family, then you are obviously not going to support any form of tax relief for working American families.
