It is the family's money, it is the worker out there that produces products, that puts in the time and the hours. It is their money, and we need to give it back to them. I think sometimes the liberals think that when we give tax breaks, tax cuts, that that money just stops somewhere out there, that it never goes any further. In fact, it goes out into the economy and it is spent and it is used and it produces, and it allows the money to grow. We have seen that many times before. President Kennedy, in his administration, he cut taxes and we saw an increase in revenue into the Federal Treasury. Ronald Reagan, he cut taxes; we saw an increase in the Federal Treasury. There are many examples in State government where taxes were cut and there would be an increase in the Federal Treasury. Because people use that money to better their own circumstances a lot better than some bureaucrat here in Washington can do.
