“about 30 years ago a distinguished Member of the other body wrote a book entitled ``The Arrogance of Power,'' and since becoming a Member of Congress this year that title has haunted me, because nowhere has that arrogance been shown greater than in the oppressive tax system that the Congress of the United States has allowed to be developed over the last 30 or 40 years. We now have a tax system that rewards political friends at the expense of America's families. Somebody asked me yesterday at a press conference what does it mean for America if we truly reform the Tax Code, and what it means is that every man, woman, and child in this country will no longer see an arrogance where Washington thinks they know better and they have more compassion and spending the money that is being earned by America's families. We are going to abolish that arrogance in this Congress. We are going to reform taxes, we are going to give America back to the Americans, and we are going to restore the future of this financial security for our children. That is the greatest gift this Congress can give our children.”
