“it was good to be back home in the Sixth District of Arizona last week, being outside of the beltway and all of the speculation and all the imagined conversation, and to talk to honest to goodness Americans and Arizonans, people who are pleased at long last, Mr. Speaker, that this conservative majority will deliver on promises that should have been realized a long time ago: tax cuts for the American people, the first tax cuts in over a decade and a half. Mr. Speaker, the people of the Sixth District viewed with alarm, concern and outright curiosity the claims by some about the notion of giving income tax cuts to people who do not pay income taxes. They said it in Show Low, Arizona, they said it in Eagar and Overgaard: How do we give an income tax cut to someone who does not pay income taxes? How indeed, Mr. Speaker? The good news is, over 70 percent of our tax cuts go to middle income families, working Americans. We realize the value of work, we realize the value of individual initiative, and Mr. Speaker, we realize the value of having hard-working Americans keep more of their own money in their pockets and send less of it here to Washington.”
