“I hear from my liberal friends that labels do not mean much anymore. If that is true, then why do liberals believe that Americans are undertaxed, and conservatives know that Americans are overtaxed? Why do liberals attack Republican proposals to cut taxes, while Republicans fight so the middle class will not be forced to send so much of their income back to Washington? Mr. Speaker, when families complain that it is harder to get ahead today than it was in their parents' day, one big reason is because government takes so much more of their family income. Whether one parent works or both parents work, Washington stands as an obstacle to families getting ahead, by taking money out of their pockets and pouring it down the black hole of wasteful and ineffective Washington bureaucracies. The tax burden keeps going up and up while the government's ability to deliver on its promises keeps going down and down. Washington must offer a better deal to America's families. It is the responsibility of Congress to promote that dream.”
