Political Quotes

“I rise today again speaking on our need to ``Build a Sound Economy''. Taxation is a financial burden that must be equally shared by all Americans, blessed with the ability to earn an income. Thomas Paine, an American Free-thinker once reminded us that; ``War involves in its progress such a train of unforeseen and unsupposed circumstances that no human wisdom can calculate the end. It has but one thing certain, and that is to increase taxes.'' And yet, at the end of our War efforts in Iraq, we are at this time considering the reduction of taxes. Through Taxation, we as Americans are afforded the opportunity to ensure the prosperity of our nation, and our citizens. Whether our citizens are from the Farms of Iowa, the Factories of Tennessee, or the Financial Districts of New York City or my home District of Chicago, their earning power and its fruits are what make America Great.”
