Political Quotes

“Every Democrat voted against no tax on overtime, which 20 million Americans have taken advantage of. Mr. Speaker, in the few seconds I have left, I want to address one additional thing we have heard from the Democrat side, that this is regressive. Untrue. Look at the facts. We already, of all developed nations around the world, have the most progressive taxation system, which means the wealthy pay more than they do in other countries, and it becomes even more progressive after this bill is passed. This year, the wealthy are paying a higher percentage of total taxes than they were in the previous year due to this bill. Mr. Speaker, this is a great bill for the American people. People in my district know that. I don't understand what the Democrats are saying, but certainly, people believe this is a great bill for them.”
