Steve Chabot said "the average American family now spends about 40 percent, 40 percent of what it earns in the form of taxes. Another way to look at that 40 percent figure is that if you work Monday through Friday, you are working Monday and Tuesday for the Government and only Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are you able to support your family on the money that you earned. That is far too high, far too much of a bite out of the taxpayers of this country coming to the Government." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
