It is interesting as we take a look at our efforts to embrace a pro-growth economic agenda centered on this one basic truth that the money that comes into the government via taxation does not belong to the government. It belongs to the people. And when we allege how the people can keep more of their hard earned money to save, spend and invest for themselves, it helps all of us. We can offer many historical examples. Indeed, last week we celebrated the life of our 40th President, Ronald Reagan, who embraced that philosophy; but to be candid, Mr. Speaker, it is not exclusively partisan.
