It serves as an useful reminder to Republicans for what they stand for as a party. To Republicans, taxes are a freedom issue. We believe that people should be entitled to the fruits of their labor.

We believe that people should have more power and more control over their lives, and the government should have less. That is the significance of April 15 to me.
