“let me wrap up. With the passage of the budget resolution, and now with the beginning of the work of the Finance Committee to produce a tax bill, we are clearly receiving the message from the American people. We are acting on their goal for us, to deliver back to them in both the immediate and long term, some tax relief--to offer up to them the right--government may act like it is a privilege, but it is a right to keep a little more of their own, hard-earned money. Now is the time to stop the government tax man from being the uninvited guest at every wedding, the unwelcome intruder at family funerals, and the rude bill collector at every graduation. Maybe, just maybe, next year's Tax Freedom Day will come not in May but in April once again. If that is true, we will have accomplished a great deal more than anyone thought we could, not too long ago. I yield the floor.”
