Political Quotes

“I appreciate the time from the gentleman from Colorado. I've attempted so far again to ask two more gentlemen from the other side of the aisle to yield for the purposes of answering a question. I've noticed that not a single one as of yet has refuted the example that I gave of a family of four earning $88,000 a year getting a $250 bonus being pumped up over the 401 percentile of the Federal poverty level and being exposed to a $4,460 tax. I wonder when the gentlemen were out campaigning last year and talking to small businesses, did you talk to the middle class about the increase in the tax that you would propose when you came to the floor of the House? One of the first bills, number four, the fourth bill to increase taxes on the middle class. Did you talk to those folks? Did you let them know what you were doing to them? I suspect not. You have two more speakers to refute what I've said. I'm waiting. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.”
