Deborah Pryce said "I strongly believe we should be changing the tax laws of this country. We should go to either a flatter rate income tax or we should go to a sales tax. We need major reform. Personally, I also believe that in the interim we should not be taxing at all capital gains or estate taxes should be eliminated. I think we frankly do not need a tax on dividends. A double taxation on dividends is bad or interest that is earned, but that is not what this legislation is about today. What we are about today is a rule that will allow us to vote in a few hours to amend the Constitution of the United States to say that in the future there shall be no tax increase, no revenue increase to the U.S. Treasury without a two-thirds, supermajority vote of this body and the other body. I think that is entirely appropriate." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
