Jon Fox said "If I can carry forward, Mr. Speaker, with what the gentleman from Georgia was just saying, the fact is that not only do we have to have a balanced budget, which will have the opportunity for the economy to grow, we also need to reduce the taxes on our American families, whether it is a $500-per-child tax credit, reducing capital gains for individuals and businesses to encourage investment, savings and jobs, or reducing inheritance taxes. How many family farms across the country cannot be exchanged or given to the next generation without fear that all the taxes are going to take away the lands and take away the farm? We need to make sure that we unbridle some of the regulations that we have that are stifling America's businesses from growing, America's families from achieving the American dream." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
