as the House considers the tax cut and spending cut bill later this week, I urge the American people to listen to the rhetoric of the two sides. Republicans believe cutting taxes is a way to give people back their money. Democrats believe cutting taxes is a way for the Government to give away its money. Republicans believe that tax cuts spur economic growth and help the American people help themselves. Democrats believe tax cuts are giveaways to the rich that hurt their big spending programs. Republicans believe that taxes are evil. Democrats believe they are necessary. Mr. Speaker, make no mistake about it. When the Democrats talk about taxes, they really believe the money is the Government's to spend. When Republicans talk about taxes, they realize that the money belongs to the people who worked hard to earn it, not to the Government.
