On the recordApril 16, 1996
the most dreaded day of the year arrived yesterday. It was tax day in America. The Republicans tried to make yesterday a little better by passing a constitutional amendment to require a two-thirds vote to raise taxes. Unfortunately, the tax and spenders in Congress prevented us from doing that. The liberals praise themselves for having the courage to raise taxes. That's not courage, that's taking the easy way out. That's why we had a record tax increase in 1993. It shouldn't be that easy. A recent survey showed that 1 percent of Americans believe taxes are too low. By preventing us from passing this tax limitation amendment, the tax lovers in this Congress have defied the will of 99 percent of America. We could have made yesterday a little better. Instead, the liberals are trying to ensure that every day is tax day in America.
