“Under the budget resolution put forth by the majority, every American should be aware that their wallets are going to get a lot lighter. As the economy softens and we lose jobs, the Democrat budget resolution prescribes an overpowering combination of tax hikes and wasteful spending that will have our economy reeling. The one positive thing I will say about this budget resolution is that it provides Americans with an excellent glimpse into the future under a Democrat majority; more spending, more taxes, and more of Washington telling you what to do. The majority has written a budget blueprint that imposes a massive, unheard of $3.9 trillion tax hike that will cause the average American household to pay $3,000 extra in Federal taxes next year. Washington doesn't need this money. Washington doesn't need to spend an extra $3.9 trillion of the American people's money on redundant wasteful government programs. The bureaucracy is far from being starved of revenue. Especially under these economic circumstances, it is wrong for this House, for this Congress, for this government to raise taxes.”
