Who would have ever imagined in the greatest country in history we would see the things we have over the last year from the Democrat Congress and the Obama administration? Who'd have ever thought we'd see a $1.4 trillion deficit? Who would have ever thought we'd see a $12 trillion national debt? Who would have ever imagined we'd have $670 billion and counting in new taxes imposed this year on American taxpayers, including taxes on the middle class? And, now, who would have ever imagined coming soon to you and your family, a value added tax? How bad does it have to get before we stop the madness, before we stop the excessive spending, the excessive borrowing and the excessive taxation? Mr. Speaker, today, on tax day, the American people get it. Hopefully, soon the Democratic Congress will. ____________________
