Political Quotes

“when I hear some of my liberal friends on the other side of the aisle, not the gentleman who just spoke, I might add, talk about targeted tax cuts, I know exactly what they mean. It means you will not be getting one. Republicans, I should add, also are putting forth a targeted tax cut, but there is a very big difference. If you are a taxpayer, you get one. That is right, our targeted tax cuts target all taxpayers, a concept that really sticks in the craw of many of my liberal friends on the other side of the aisle. Many politicians in Washington have a hard time coming to grips with the fact that the budget surplus, a tax overpayment, really, does not belong to them. That money, every penny of it, belongs to the taxpayers. Washington is taking more than it needs out of the pockets of those who work all over this country and pay their taxes. The bottom line is the American people are overtaxed, and the real issue is, who should decide how the money gets spent: The bureaucrats up here in Washington, or the taxpayers all over this country. I will cast my lot with the people of this Nation. Let us cut the taxes on the American people, and let us do it now.”
