The Public Record
more confusion on the Democrat side of the aisle; it is no wonder that their President is reaching over to Republicans to try to work on a responsible tax bill. As my colleagues know, the interesting thing is in this tax debate we need to…
In terms of the hard-working middle class Americans, they do need tax relief. Their tax burden right now is about 38 percent per family. That is up 1 percent from what it was 2 years prior, but it is very important for us to realize that…
the fraud that is being perpetuated by those who say this is a tax cut for the wealthy is just outrageous. They know better in their heart of hearts. How they can even look themselves in the mirror and say that this is a tax cut for the…
If both the gentlemen would yield, let me just ask both of my colleagues, quiz time: What do these countries have in common? Australia, Canada, Egypt, Ghana, India, Indonesia, Israel, Kuwait, New Zealand, Switzerland, Uruguay? What do they…
Per family, that is not going to make or break you necessarily. You are going to be able to buy some more stuff with it and it is going to be good, but it is going to help 11 million kids. Let me give the gentleman some fun facts on taxes…
Going back again to the middle class soccer moms and dads, one of the taxes that we Republicans are pushing is a $500 per child tax credit. In sophisticated boardrooms, folks do not want that. That is the least popular. However, that is…
The gentleman from Erie County [Mr. Paxon], where my dad is from, knows well that there are a whole lot of his friends who are probably now working and living in Canada, a lot of people he went to high school with. {time} 1630 I went to…
I thank the gentleman, and knowing the interest of the gentleman from Mississippi in this death tax and the repeal of it, and I certainly appreciate his leadership, as do most taxpaying Americans, I wanted to bring an article sent to me by…
Essentially, Abraham Lincoln made this statement, ``that God must have loved the common man because he made so many of them.'' Unfortunately, Uncle Sam loves the common man, too, because that is who pays the taxes. It is not the poor, it…
we are in a very important debate right now over taxes. The Republican Party is working for middle-class tax relief, and the liberal Members of the Democrat Party and the President are working against middle-class tax relief. I think it is…
the Democrats today seem to be characteristically void of facts and rich in rhetoric in their deliveries of one-minutes. Under the Republican tax bill, the income level of $75,000 per household or less than $75,0000 is going to get 76…
Let us point out, too, there are more millionaires in the Clinton cabinet than there were in other cabinets. If we want to talk rich and we want to talk class warfare, let us start with the Clinton cabinet.
with Father's Day coming up, what can we do to help dads and to help parents and help children? Our tax burden right now is one of the biggest problems of raising kids. I know. I have a family of four. If you have a combined income of…
to understand why the President vetoed the disaster bill, thus denying many of the victims the needed relief, we have to understand samplematics. Sample matics is yet another Democrat attempt to redo mathematics as we know it. It works…
In 1973 two significant education-related events occurred in my life. No. 1, Clark Central High School teacher Bertha Musick retired after 37 years of teaching. Mrs. Musick had taught social studies, science, and English in elementary…
a couple of weeks ago, when Congress passed the historic balanced budget agreement by a vote of 333, it set forth a very good tone for Congress and the White House and the Senate to work together to move us toward a balanced budget by the…
despite some obvious unhappiness on the far left, the balanced budget agreement passed yesterday on a vote, a bipartisan vote, of 333 to 99, an overwhelming number of Democrats and Republicans passed this. It is a budget that balances by…
I wanted to speak specifically on the tax relief portion of it, because for too long Americans have sent far too much of their hard-earned dollars to Washington, DC. This bipartisan balanced budget agreement provides for the first time…
1969, ``Mod Squad'' on TV, American Vietnam students in the streets and Neil Armstrong on the moon, and the budget was balanced for the last time. How long ago was that? A Burger King Whopper could be purchased for 39 cents, a Coke for 15…
if one has millions and millions of dollars and if one parks in front of a fire hydrant, do not worry about a ticket, just pay to have the hydrant moved. So in the exclusive Beacon Hill area of Boston, the civic association says, this has…
I think it is the desire of many people to say that if we are increasing the money, let us not feed the bureaucrat, the bureaucracy; let us feed the children.
as my colleagues know, it is too bad that everything has to be reduced to rhetoric and emotionalism here. The respected ranking member herself has asked a lot of questions about the WIC numbers. We all have questions about it. It was just…
we are not here to talk about the merits of WIC, we are not here to talk about feeding children. Indeed, this committee has supported WIC to the tune of full funding last year, $3.7 billion. This committee has supported increasing WIC $36…
Now the pictures; you have some good pictures right here, but you also had some smaller pictures which I know you could not blow them all up, but the jail itself that these Americans are in looks like what you would envision a jail looking…
the importance of the budget agreement is that we are saying that America is no longer going to debate having a balanced budget. We are going to have a balanced budget. Now that we have answered that question, the next part of it is how…
