“how sad and how cynical that the left can only embrace the politics of envy. How sad that today they rely on tired, shopworn old arguments attempting to divide Americans, when we will see in this Chamber later today a bipartisan majority standing up for tax fairness intent on putting the death tax to death. Our constitutional republic was founded, in part, because the people in that time stood up against taxation, no taxation without representation was their rallying cry. Today, all Americans stand up to say no taxation without respiration, because it is fundamentally unfair, regardless of your economic station in life, to have this tax visited upon the American people. And here is why for the disconnect that seems to affect my friends on the left when they lament the facts that this affects only 2 percent of the populace, a little economic primer, friends. Mr. Speaker, government does not create jobs. The American people, through their entrepreneurial endeavor and spirit, create jobs; and in the private sector, we should not inhibit that. That is why the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, that is why the Black Chamber of Commerce understands that the color of economic opportunity in this country is green, in terms of capital, to create jobs, to create growth and economic opportunity, to let families hang on to their farms and ranchers and small businesses and, yes, to succeed. This is the fundamental difference, Mr. Speaker. We embrace the principles of prosperity.…”
