“I like trees. I think it is a good idea that we plant more trees. But let us talk about something serious and get beyond partisan bickering. Let us talk about what happened yesterday with the tax vote. We continue to hear that we are providing tax cuts for the rich, but I have to tell the Members, when I hold my town hall meetings, and I have held 75 over the past year, it is not people making six figures asking for tax cuts, it is working class Americans making $30,000 or less who see every 2 weeks when they are working at Wendy's and they are working at Wal-Mart and they are carrying two or three jobs, that the Federal Government is taking more and more and more of their money. We have to do something to protect those working class Americans who continue to get robbed by the Federal Government every April 15 and every 2 weeks. That is why I was proud to vote the way I did, and that is why I was disappointed to hear the rhetoric about all these people who are so darned interested in union workers and the working class Americans who will not do what they want them to do, and that is to give them back more of their money so they can invest in their future, their children's education, and put a little bit of money to the side.”
