“failed tax-and-spend policies as demonstrated in a proficient manner by a Congress controlled by the Democrats for 40 years, versus less taxation and less spending by Republicans in 1995: America, you voiced your opinion loudly this past November. Making more money available to private citizens and private industry will inevitably result in more money going into our economy to produce economic growth and, yes, ladies and gentlemen, more tax revenues. The method to improve our cities is not through new and fancy social spending programs. The first way is to help strengthen our families. Encouraging marriage, adoptions, savings by families, long-term health care, and senior citizens' equity are steps in the right direction. Second, this and future tax incentives properly directed will allow us to improve the economic condition of our cities. We as Republicans, and I believe many moderate-to-conservative Democrats, would agree that we must help employers to employ more employees, and we must encourage more entrepreneurs of all hues. Let us remember that with strong families, less taxation, less spending, and less government, we will be able to turn our society around for the better.”
