Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 7, 2005
The gentleman is accurate on that. Individuals that vote no on this tomorrow would be voting to increase that on our Nation's teachers. They would be voting no on State sales tax deductibility. They would be voting against that, for all of our constituents in Tennessee and Texas and Washington State and Wyoming and other States across the Nation that enjoy that sales tax deductibility. Another one they would be voting no on is the savers' tax credit for low-income workers who contribute to retirement savings accounts. We talk about doing things that will assist those who are working and need a hand up and need a little bit of help. Focusing on that savers' tax credit, that is something we want to do and we want to see that continue. The gentleman from Georgia is exactly right, that is something that is included in this bill, the provisions for our Nation's teachers.
