“Mr. Speaker, I could not help but notice the vision of America proffered by my friend from Oregon in the preceding hour. It seems we have a fundamental difference of opinion. He believes the highest and best use of a citizen's money is by the Washington bureaucracy. There is an element of thought here that everyday Americans should surrender more and more and more and more of their hard-earned money to the Federal Government through taxation because Washington can somehow do a better job with that money. Mr. Speaker, I would simply say to those who join us tonight, I think we have come to understand certainly in the last half of the preceding century that that notion is exactly backwards. Mr. Speaker, I would suggest that for years my friends on the other side have offered that outmoded notion that your family should sacrifice more so that Washington can do more, when instead we embrace the fundamental notion that Washington should make some sacrifices and be a good steward of the people's money so that families across America can have more.”
