Political Quotes

“President Bush has proposed a package of tax relief that includes across-the-board tax relief for everyone. His plan even takes 6 million Americans off the tax rolls all together. It is a fair and balanced proposal that will certainly benefit hard-working Americans and offer them more flexibility on how they want to spend their money. One thing America offers is opportunity for all. That is why our plan does not seek to redistribute wealth, like some Democrats wish to do. We realize that everyone who pays taxes ought to get relief. There must be an incentive for Americans to create jobs and businesses. Freedom and capitalism is why our country is the world's greatest Nation. Our legislation gives back some of what taxpayers have overpaid to the government so that they can get a new washer and dryer or get their children new school clothes or even pay some of the college tuition or car bills that cost so much nowadays. The bottom line is that it is the taxpayers' money. They can spend it much better than anyone in Washington, D.C. Mr. Speaker, Republicans are going to provide tax relief to all Americans. The President and leaders in Congress are trying to reach out to the opponents of our plan in order to foster a bipartisan agreement without compromising the needs of the taxpayer.”
