Political Quotes

“4 years ago when I first came to this Chamber, the debate was whether or not to increase taxes on Americans in this country by $250 billion over that 5-year period? Tomorrow I think we all should celebrate, Republicans and Democrats, because Congress is passing the first tax cut in 16 years. We talk about whether it is for the rich or the poor, but it seems to me that some of our focus should be on what is going to be the kind of tax incentives that result in better and more jobs that pay more, that allow the individual to have a larger paycheck and increase their standard of living. Here is my opinion. This country became great because we had a system where those that worked hard and tried and made an effort and saved and invested ended up better off than those that did not. Now we have got people suggesting we should have a tax system to level the playing field, to punish those that saved and invested and to reward those that did not. We should celebrate our tax cut tomorrow. That gives tax cuts to working American families.”
