“some say that it is tough for normal, hard-working Americans to tell one political party from another. However, if you are out there looking to hang your hat on a defining issue separating the two major parties, look no further than taxes. The Democrats' view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases, according to Ronald Reagan: If it moves, tax it; if it keeps moving, regulate it; and if it stops moving, subsidize it. We believe that we need less Government and lower taxes. We need to let people keep more of what they earn and save, and we need to let people make their own decisions how they spend their money, not the Government. Keep this in mind when you examine President Clinton's latest tax proposal: Initially it appears to be Republican, but upon closer examination, the tax cuts are temporary, while the tax increases are permanent, totaling $63 billion. Mr. Speaker, I think we all remember that story about the wolf in sheep's clothing.”
