“Yesterday was tax freedom day, May 7-- the latest it has ever been. That means American working families are working longer for the Federal Government than ever before. American working families pay almost 40 percent of their total income to the Government in taxes. American working families are giving more to the Government, leaving less for their everyday needs. Less for groceries, less for gas, less for whatever we may desire. American working families have watched their tax freedom day fall later each year under the Clinton watch. That is not rhetoric. Those are straight-up facts. The Republican-passed family tax cut would have turned this trend around. A repeal in the gas tax would turn this trend around. A capital gains tax cut would turn this trend around. American working families are taxed too much. Let us turn this Clinton tax trend around. Let us cut taxes. Let us get the Government out of America's pocket.”
