On the recordMay 9, 1996
There is no plan. It is fear. Fear wins elections. Class warfare wins elections. If they can get that woman making $18,000 a year to be jealous of that woman or that guy making $24,000 a year, guess what, they got a vote in the other column. Class warfare works. Remember the speeches during the 1992 campaign? Well, that trickle down speech, that trickle down speech is capitalism. We are a capitalist society. We want people to have a piece of the American pie. We want to grow the American pie, not turn class against class, grandchildren against grandparents. I cannot wake up every day and come to this House thinking that fear will dominate American politics and that class warfare will dominate American politics and that half truths will dominate American politics after the 1996 election.
