On the recordMay 6, 1996
I do not think they are looking for courage to keep adding another burden, another tax burden, another regulatory burden on the backs of the working families. Most Americans--in fact, in survey data every social strata of our country--feel that the appropriate tax burden should be 25 percent. It does not matter whether you ask the very wealthy family or the poorest family. It is fascinating; they all come to the same number, that the burden of government, their willingness to contribute, is about 25 percent. Tomorrow is May 7. It is an important day in America, because May 7, believe it or not--I would never have believed I would be in the Senate talking about this kind of crisis, but May 7 is the first day for which an American family can earn money and resources for its own dreams.
