Political Quotes

“the Democrat leadership has decided to fix the Social Security system. The new fix is to raise your Social Security taxes and lower the benefits you receive. Your Government in Washington is on the job. The same one that brought you the problem now has the solution. Again. Just last year the Clinton administration increased taxes on the elderly's Social Security benefits. Now they want to raise taxes at both ends by increasing both payroll taxes and benefits taxed. The Democrat plan would increase the tax employers pay. It would increase the tax employees pay. And it would cut the benefits of the average contributor by 8 percent and cut the above-average contributor's by one-fifth. The operative words being--tax and tax and cut and cut the benefits. This is precisely the sort of solution Washington proposes for its programs that cannot pay their way--more from you and less from the Government. Are you not glad that Washington could take time from designing your new health care plan to tinker with your retirement plan?”
