“A key element which Paul Harvey may refer to as the rest of the story, who was the majority in Congress in 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984 but liberal, big-spending Democrats? And what do they do when they get your money? They spend it. Why are they opposed to a tax reduction? Because they believe in their heart of hearts, and this is the crux of the whole matter, the big philosophical, empirical difference between the parties is that in their heart of hearts they believe they can spend your money better than you can. They believe the American people are incapable of spending decisions which might benefit society by creating jobs and creating more tax revenues. I was speaking at a high school recently and I asked a young lady on the front row of a class how many of you have a job. She had a job. She made $7 an hour. I said, 'So if you work for 2 hours, you make $14.' She said, 'No, sir, I only get to bring home about $11 because of the taxes.'”
