Political Quotes

“Democrats and Republicans agree that we should preserve tax cuts for all Americans on the first $250,000 of family income. This will protect 98 percent of Americans from a tax increase and 97 percent of small businesses. We have different ideas on the best and fairest way to set rates for the top 2 percent, the wealthiest Americans. Let's have that debate in the coming weeks, but let's act on the overwhelming areas of agreement today. This is not about a Democratic or Republican victory in this Chamber. It's about a victory for the American people. Instead of moving forward with middle class tax cuts, our friends on the other side of the aisle are trying again to put forth a plan that gives tax breaks to the richest Americans at the expense of our seniors, veterans, the disabled, and the middle class. It's time for the partisan games to end. Let's prove to the American people that this is the people's House. Pass the middle class tax cuts today. ____________________”
