On the recordMarch 28, 1996
most working men and women in this country prefer the Republican vision of the future. They support a change in the way the Federal Government works and operates, they want a change in the way the welfare system operates, they want an end to race and gender preferences on the job and in our schools, and they want to decide who spends their money and on what. Yet, the self- proclaimed champions of ``working men and women'' resist this popular agenda at every turn. On Monday, a group of elite, liberal, big union bosses levied a $35 million tax increase on the men and women of the AFL-CIO, money they will use to attack the pro-family, pro-middle-class agenda of change offered by this Republican-led Congress. Despite their efforts, the union bosses better be wary, because it is only a matter of time before the rank and file throws them out and replaces them.
