Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, the White House has a new health care bill, but this new bill is essentially the same as the old one. It is still a hugely expensive package full of harmful tax increases for working Americans that will destroy even more jobs than Democratic policies have already destroyed. During his campaign, the President said, ``Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase; not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains tax, not any of your taxes.'' That's interesting because this new health care bill includes about $136 billion in new taxes on the very group that wasn't supposed to see ``any form of tax increase.'' Mr. Speaker, the American people don't want a government takeover of health care with billions of new taxes on hardworking Americans who are struggling to make ends meet. ____________________”
