“Mr. Speaker, only Democrats believe that cutting taxes is a spending program, that cutting taxes increase the debt. What increases the debt is government spending more than it takes in. That is what increases the debt. Spending increases the debt. Mr. Speaker, the Members really face a clear choice today. It is very basic. Will they stand with the taxpayer, or will they empower the tax collector? Will they stand with mom and pop businesses and American farmers, or will they assist those seeking to confiscate their hard-earned assets? In short, will they revive the death tax, or will they repeal it? They just cannot help themselves. The gentleman from North Dakota (Mr. Pomeroy) was talking about we covered 99.7 percent. They cannot repeal a tax. It is just not in their nature to repeal the tax. If you are doing 99.7, which I disagree with, then why not the other .3 percent and be fair and repeal the tax? They just cannot. Do you know why? Because they want to use it sometime in the future to take money from American farmers, money from American businesses, put it in the government's pocket so that they can spend. I hope the voters really watch the vote that is taken here today.”
