Political Quotes

“government does not have to be as complicated as we here in Washington make it. In fact, the only thing that counts to the folks that we represent, and the district that I represent runs from the Mississippi River across the top of the State of Illinois to within one county of Lake Michigan, and the people there are just like the people in the rest of the United States. They get up early in the morning, go to work, pack their lunch bags. Then on Friday night, the husband and wife will sit down and say, you know, we do not understand it. We are both working and yet we are taking home less money and it cost more to live than ever before. What those people want is what most Americans want. They want a tax rate that is fair. They want a government that is efficient. They want to be able to use the fruits of their own labors. That is why this very productive Republican Congress is allowing the taxpayers of this country the ability to keep more of their hard-earned dollars, as opposed to sending it to Washington to be wasted on one of the 10,000 Federal programs that are here.”
