Political Quotes

“former Senator Paul Tsongas wrote in the Christian Science Monitor a few months ago these very important words: If you think sending a chunk of your hard-earned income to the Internal Revenue Service was tough this year, imagine the responses of future taxpayers who will face average lifetime tax rates of an incredible 82 percent. Confronted with the burdens of a monstrous national debt, an aging population, and runaway federal entitlement programs, tomorrow's Americans will be turned into a generation of indentured servants. They won't stand for it. Without action today, we are likely to see generational political wars by the end of the decade. We need to heed those words of former Senator Tsongas. That is why we need a balanced budget amendment. That is what this is all about. It is to give our children and grandchildren some hope for a good standard of living and for an economic future as bright as ours has been.”
