“the Republican philosophy with respect to working families is very simple. We believe that those people who work for a living, trying to support their families, ought to be able to keep more of the money that they earn. We do not believe they should be obligated to send a bigger and bigger piece of their paycheck back to Washington so politicians and bureaucrats can decide the best way to spend it. That is our legacy to the American people. The legacy of our friends who continue to stand up day after day deriding tax cuts for the rich is entirely different. If they come to a town hall meeting in your neighborhood and talk about tax cuts for the rich, ask them who they mean by the rich. They are talking about working families earning $40,000 and $50,000 a year. There are a lot of rich people in this country that they want to take money from to send back here to Washington. We Republicans are going to put that money back in the pockets of the families who earned it. That is our legacy. Their legacy, the last time they controlled this Chamber, was the largest tax increase in the history of the United States. We are content to let the people decide which is the better course.”
