Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, this is no way to govern. In the dead of the night, congressional Republicans are passing this partisan, big, ugly bill for billionaires. Who are they here to serve? Are they here to serve billionaires or the constituents who elected them to bring down costs and to make life more affordable? Their constituents, like mine, rely on Medicaid and public education, veterans' programs, SNAP, childcare, Head Start, and Medicare. Republicans claim to be for the working people, and yet the meager tax relief of about $1 a day that middle-class workers and families receive under their plan is temporary. The tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations are permanent. That is a choice. I am for permanent tax cuts for moms and dads and for small business owners. Who are they here to serve? The GOP budget cuts from the masses to give to the few, to billionaires who barely pay taxes to begin with. I know who I am here to serve. I serve the 750,000 people from Nevada who elected me. I will continue to fight for them to make their lives better and not worse. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to stand with their constituents and against the billionaires.”
