Political Quotes

On the recordApril 4, 1995
Good morning. My name is Steve, and I am a tax cutter. I never realized I had a problem with this compulsion when I was back home in the real world, but, when I landed inside the beltway, I knew I was in real trouble. I had always believed that we should let working Americans keep more of their hard-earned paychecks. I had always thought we ought to give senior citizens in this country a break. I thought I was normal, but then I came to Washington, and the liberals and the bureaucrats have tried to show me the error of my ways. They have tried to convince me that the money I always thought belonged to the taxpayers really belongs to the Federal Government. They tried to convince me that bureaucrats know best, more better than what the working men and women of this country do. They think that bureaucrats are smarter than the folks back home. Well, that is baloney. Maybe being a tax cutter is not so bad. In fact, doggone it, I am proud to be a tax cutter. Let us cut taxes like the Republicans want to do this week.
