NAN A. S. HAYWORTH: “The key of course is not just the right allocation of resources. It also of course is accountability. And, Mr. Speaker…”

On the recordJune 5, 2002
The key of course is not just the right allocation of resources. It also of course is accountability. And, Mr. Speaker, now it is time to become accountable to the American family, to family-owned businesses, to ranches and farms and so many different concerns where the scourge of the death tax has come like a thief in the night, not only death robbing people of their lives but the death tax robbing families of their future. Our good friend who sadly is departing this Chamber, the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Schaffer), once borrowed Patrick Henry's admonition. Said my good friend, ``No taxation without respiration,'' and I think that is evocative not only of history but something very practical.
