Political Quotes

“we all remember that famous iconic final scene in the movie ``Thelma and Louise,'' two women in a red convertible, pedal down, driving straight off the edge of a cliff. For working Americans, that is exactly what many saw coming, a $4 trillion tax hike that would have put families in the passenger seat while the left drove full speed toward the edge. No brakes, no plan, and no way out of impending disaster. Mr. Speaker, this tax day, House Republicans refuse to let that be the ending. With the Working Families Tax Cut Act, we turned the wheel. We changed the direction, and we put working people back in control of their own hard-earned money. No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, a new deduction for Social Security benefits, a new deduction for auto loan interest on American-made vehicles, a new higher standard deduction, a stronger tax credit, all of these mean the same thing, Mr. Speaker: More take-home pay, more breathing room, and more opportunities for the families who make this country work and the families who pay the bills. The Working Families Tax Cut Act is real relief for real people: parents juggling rising costs, workers picking up extra shifts, and seniors who spent a lifetime paying in and deserve to keep a little bit more of what they have earned.”
