On the recordFebruary 3, 1999
it did not take long to find out what the major difference between Democrats and Republicans will be in this Congress: Tax cuts. Republicans propose a 10 percent across-the-board tax cut, which the legislation of the gentleman from Ohio (Chairman Kasich) will do; and the Democrats, well, you guessed it, general tax relief is nowhere to be found. In fact, the President's budget will contain no middle class tax relief for another 15 years. And we all know what targeted tax cuts are. That is a euphemism for ``you won't be getting one.'' The current budget surplus, taxpayer overpayment, to be more accurate, should go back to the people that it belongs to in the first place, the taxpayers. April 15 is not far away, and the tax man cometh. The tax man has been taking too much for too long, and then wasting too much of that for too long. It is time to give the middle class average taxpayers a break. It is time for a tax cut.
