On the recordApril 4, 1995
If we could sum up what we have been hearing for the last hour on the floor of the House, I think you could just say Democrats love taxes. Republicans hate taxes. Democrats love big government. Republicans hate big government. Democrats love the public sector. Republicans like the private sector. I won't venture to say that maybe Democrats seem to love poor children and hate rich children, but there does seem to be, in the Democrat mindset, a distinction between a rich child and a poor child, as opposed to loving all children equally. Let us get back to the tax issues. I think the reason why the Democrats are gripping this tax so hard is because they love taxes. We are taking taxes away from them. You don't mess with their toys. They don't like that. So what do we have?
