Political Quotes

“Mr. Chairman, this debate is really unbelievable. We are standing here tonight saying let us cut them loose, let us cut the money off, let us save taxpayers some good hard-earned tax dollars. We are going to save them 2 cents on that candy bar. Yes, we believe that. When the price of sugar drops, we know the price of those candy bars and cold drinks are going to come plummeting. In the meantime we cannot figure out why Americans cannot compete. OSHA, IRS, EPA, name it, we have got them crawling across the farm. They tell you where you can plant, they tell you when you can plant, they tell you what you can plant. They tell you after you plant it and you grow it and you are successful in the hurricane or an insect does not eat it because you cannot get your insecticides approved by some EPA regulator, they tell you what you can sell it for, and then if that is not enough we tell you who you can sell it to. OK, fellow, if you want to cut us loose, set us free. Let us farm. Let us grow our crop. Let us be like any other business in America, sell where we want to for what we can get. We will not have a problem. Get the Government off the farm and we will make a profit. Otherwise leave us alone.”
