“this Congress intends to focus like a laser beam on an issue of particular importance to families. It's called tax cuts. Many Americans are moving ahead in these economic good times, but some families are having trouble making ends meet. While the liberals believe that the way to improve the standard of living of hard-pressed working families is to propose more job training programs and more Washington-directed education programs, the same ones which have failed miserably in the past, Republicans have a much better idea. Republicans want to help ordinary working families by letting them keep more of their own money. No need for theory or hopes that some day these Federal training programs will trickle down to real people. No, the Republicans can help families make ends meet, save for that first home or pay off those credit cards by giving them a tax cut. Actually, the government would not be giving them anything. It would mean that the government would let people keep more of their own hard-earned money.”
