Political Quotes

“I hope the American people that are observing this debate over taxes now realize why tax cuts come so slowly in this Congress. There are some elitists in this Chamber and a lot of egos that think that Washington can spend your money better than you can. The tax bill currently before Congress is going to benefit every American, whether it is a $400 more in your pocket or $1,500 more in your pocket. Middle class working families are going to gain a little bit from this tax cut. But this tax cut is just a little bit. Compared to the $250 billion tax increase that we just had 4 years ago, this is an $85 billion net tax cut, just a portion of the huge tax increase that just happened a few years ago. If we are going to have a country that has been as successful as we have, we have to get back to a system where we let the people keep more of the money in their pocket, where we reward the people that work hard, that try, that save, that invest, and the people that work hard are better off than those that do not.”
