“tax day is fast approaching. As a result of Bill Clinton's tax hike the people in my district have to work from January 1 to May 5 just to pay Uncle Sam's taxes and then they work until July to pay off State and local government. Mr. Speaker, I resent the liberal Democrats claiming that my constituents' hard-earned money is the property of Government that they must continue to pay for those who won't work. Working people have the right to keep their own money. I come from a rural district, most of my constituents work on small farms and in small factories. They create the jobs, fight the wars, and struggle everyday to keep the country going. On their behalf, I support tax cuts--even more cuts than are in this bill--and I reject the politics of class warfare peddled by the minority. It is obscene for the Democrats and their Hollywood and media friends to ridicule the people in my district who want nothing more than to take back control of their lives and communities from the welfare state. Mr. Speaker, let us cut taxes now and let the Democrats explain why they stood in the people's way.”
