On the recordJuly 9, 1997
I want to also say to the gentleman from Michigan, when we came here it was socialized medicine. It was the largest tax increase in history. It was expansion of the Hatch Act. It was motor voter. Everything was big government, big government this. We have stopped the ball from rolling to the left. We have stopped the onward intrusion of the big government. Have we stopped it as abruptly as we would like to? No. But we are moving in that direction. We believe this tax relief bill is the first and very, very significant step in returning to the American middle class people money that is theirs, that the government should not be taking from them.
