Political Quotes

“this week Congress will finalize its proposal for tax relief for all Americans and begin discussions on that tax proposal with the President. During the past month Republicans have worked consistently to lower taxes for all Americans, with a $500-per-child tax credit, relief for families sending their children to college, providing death tax relief for small businesses and family farms. In fact, 75 percent of the tax relief in this proposal goes to those earning less than $75,000. I hope the President will avoid the class warfare rhetoric we have heard today, but I am not optimistic. This administration's record falls short. In 1993 they pushed through the largest tax increase in America's history. This administration has proposed higher taxes on health care, taxes on energy, even taxes on camping equipment. They have called the reduction in the capital gains tax as being unnecessary and suggested that relief from death taxes is selfish. The administration's record is one of higher and higher taxes. This is wrong. Americans deserve this tax relief. This bill is right, it is fair, and the time is now.”
