On the recordJune 4, 1998
I am honored for the mention of prime time in Arizona, because it is high time my constituents believe to approach these questions with less heat and a lot more light. I listened with interest to my colleague from Maryland decry the largest tax increase in American history. He said that fact was not true. I would agree with him to this extent. A member of the minority party in the other body, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York, called it the largest tax increase in the history of the world. So I think that is important to note for the record. But we are really not here to hurl brickbats as much as we are here to try to find reasonable solutions for the American people. The people of the Sixth Congressional District of Arizona work hard for the money they earn. They want to hang on to more of it and send less of it to Washington, D.C. The fact is in the early 1990s, government at all levels had become this Nation's number one employer; and in the early 1990s, government outstripped manufacturing in this country in excess of 600,000 jobs.
