“we Republicans believe that one of the greatest family values we can promote in Congress is to allow hard-working people to keep more of the money they have earned, and have the right to spend it on their families. How I wish the President would join us in that family value. I was stunned to pick up the front page of the newspaper yesterday and to see the headline: ``Clinton Labels Tax Cut Selfish.'' I read from the newspaper, lest anybody think I am exaggerating: ``President Clinton yesterday called voters attracted to Republican tax cut promises selfish, saying they should be satisfied instead with a revived economy, and happy to pay for government services'' (emphasis added). Yesterday, in Virginia he scolded voters for backing the selfishly gratifying pledge to slash taxes. ``This is going to be like one of those meals you order and you are hungry 30 minutes later,'' the President proclaimed. Mr. President, I am gravely disappointed in these comments. For a leader who likes to remind us he ``feels our pain,'' I wish you would recognize the pain caused by oppressively high taxes on working American families. You have a chance to join us in the fight to return more of their money from the IRS to their pocketbooks. I urge you to reconsider who is the truly selfish one in this debate.”
