I strongly support the tax package that came out of our Committee on Ways and Means. I am privileged to serve on that committee. When I go back home, I am inevitably asked the question, usually by high school students, 'What is the difference between Republicans and Democrats?' And I try to tell them: I believe both parties, of course, believe in democracy. I believe both on either side of this aisle believe in a better America. But I think our vision of how to get to a better America is where we find other differences. I know, certainly, that those of us on our side of the aisle believe that America is an overtaxed nation. We believe it is a matter of principle that hard-working men and women in this country stop working so hard for the Government. I believe, as a fundamental principle, in letting the hard-working people in this country keep more of what they earn. It is their money. It is not the Government's money.
