“History shows this over and over. Government helps the most when the government does not take the money away, but leaves the money with the bread winner and says you spend that money. My 16-year-old son works at the Piggly-Wiggly making a paycheck. He will buy gasoline for his truck and CDs. And tonight he is taking his girlfriend out to supper. It is their 1-year anniversary. He is going to take her out to a nice restaurant. When he does that, what is going to happen is the chef is going to have a job. The waitress is going to have a job. The owner is going to have a job. The cashier is going to have a job because John Kingston is going to be joined by hundreds of other Savannah, Georgians going to that restaurant. And because he has money in his pocket, he is able to do that. If we say, instead of taking out 20 to 30 percent of your taxes, we want 40 percent because Senator Daschle and the Democratic Party knows how to spend your money better than you, he is not going to go out. The Democrats are going to spend it their way, not the way of the American consumer. Mr. Speaker, did these Members take economics? Most are college educated, but did they miss economics?”
