I tell my friend, he probably ought not to use Herbert Hoover as an example. That President raised taxes and plunged us into the Depression. We are here cutting taxes. Mr. Speaker, talk is cheap. We hear talk about the weather, we hear excuses about process, we see props like cans of beans. Please, why is it so hard for the folks on the other side to say yes? Yes to returning a little bit of the tax surplus to those who paid it: hard-working Americans. Every taxpayer gets exactly the same tax reduction; no matter what my Democratic colleagues say, it is true. It is in these seven little pages. It is here. Every American this year gets the same reduction. Just say yes on H.R. 3 and relieve your pain.
