NAN A. S. HAYWORTH: “Mr. Speaker, let us speak from the heart. Let us engage in this debate. With the American people watching, Mr. Speaker…”

“Mr. Speaker, let us speak from the heart. Let us engage in this debate. With the American people watching, Mr. Speaker, let us take a look at who benefits from tax reductions. It is sad to hear my friends on the left reminiscent of that scene in motion pictures. "No tax relief, not for nobody, not for no how, not for no reason" seems to be the canard of the day. Who do they think is helped by reducing the death tax? It is the family farmer. It is the small business person in rural communities throughout Arizona and throughout America. Because time after time we have seen it. Gene Stenson, for example. His dad founded a railroad track manufacturing company down in Florida in 1967. But after his dad's death in 1976, the Stensons had to shut down a facility not in Florida but in North Carolina, laying off two-thirds of their 110 employees to pay the death tax. Is that compassion? Is that a tax cut only for the wealthy? No. It exposes the canard of the left and their philosophy that was bent on bankrupting this country with deficit budget after deficit budget. Now that we are putting our House in order for Main Street and Wall Street, Mr. Speaker, we want to put it in order for every street. Is it not compassionate to offer 100 percent health insurance deductibility for the self-employed? Of course it is compassionate.”
