On the recordJuly 12, 1995
That is right. I think again, something that the gentleman touched on that is important, is that we are working for all Americans, whether they be poor, whether they be middle class, whether they be better off, and I think what we have to be careful of is that many of the liberals are trying to divide people, to put them into certain categories. That is why we keep hearing over and over again, the Republicans just want to cut spending on poor people or seniors or whatever to give tax cuts to the wealthy. That is just not true. As we said before, the tax cuts, 75 percent of the tax cuts go to middle-class people. We should not be dividing Americans, we should not be scaring senior citizens. All Americans are going to have to work together in order to solve the problems that we have.
