“Congress has a little less than 1 month to conduct the people's business. I think Congress should focus on the issue of tax cuts. Republicans believe that Americans are overtaxed. Democrats believe that Americans are not overtaxed, and some of them actually believe that Americans are not taxed enough. Republicans talk about tax cuts for all Americans, and Democrats speak in terms of targeted tax cuts, which is a great way of saying that the middle class, the backbone of America, will not be getting a tax cut. Now, let us make a distinction between Democrats and so-called new Democrats. Democrats will raise your taxes. New Democrats will talk about cutting your taxes, but they will end up raising them once they get into office. Mr. Speaker, the choice is clear. If you believe taxes are fundamentally a freedom issue, then Republicans are on your side. If you think the government knows best, then the Democrats are your friend. It is a clear choice.”
