Political Quotes

“Do we hear it on radio and TV? Depending on whose study you believe, every study I have been concludes that under the Republican sponsored bill, which is part of the Contract with America, between 60 and 70 percent of the families or the tax cut that we were talking about would go to families making between $30,000 and $75,000 a year, between 60 and 70 percent of that tax cut would get to families making between $30,000 and $75,000 a year. So these are facts. If you place that fact next to what we hear on the floor of this House every day, one could only conclude, in a logical way, that folks who make between $30,000 and $75,000 a year are rich. And I am here to tell the big union bosses in this country that if they think the folks who sent me here who make $25,000, $35,000, $45,000 a year think they are rich, I would suggest those big union bosses leave their big houses out in the country and go talk to people who are still working for a living who must balance their budget, who believe the Federal Government is out of control, who understand our tort system is out of control, who understand the need for regulatory reform, and who understand the nature of government which will grow and grow and grow and grow unless the budget is brought back into balance.”
