“I hope I have better luck getting a straight answer. When the gentleman said that it was the liberals who controlled Congress in 1982 that forced Ronald Reagan to have a tax increase, does he include in that the man who was then chairman of the Republican-controlled Senate Finance Committee, Robert Dole? The tax bill he is talking about in 1982 was passed by a Democratic House and a Republican Senate with Robert Dole as chairman of the Finance Committee. Was Robert Dole who passed that tax bill one of those liberals the gentleman is complaining about?”
