there is a great philosophical divide between we Republicans and the Democrats when it comes to the issue of tax cuts. For the 40 years that the Democrats controlled this Chamber, they ended their regin by giving America the highest tax increase in American history. For 2 years the Republicans have controlled this Chamber, and in each Congress we have offered a tax cut for middle class families. Democrats consistently oppose these tax cuts because the less money that gets to come back to Washington by way of the IRS means there is less money available for them to spend on their favorite projects. We Republicans believe that those people who go to work each day ought to be able to keep more of their hard-earned money to spend for their families. The choice is simply this: If American taxpayers really believe that they do not have enough common sense to spend the money they earn for their families, then they should support the liberal rhetoric that supports high taxes. If, on the other hand, families believe that they ought to be able to make spending decisions for their families, they should support the Republican plan to cut taxes for the middle class.
