Kevin Brady: “I think there is a clear philosophical difference between the two…”

On the recordNovember 8, 2007

I think there is a clear philosophical difference between the two parties. As Republicans, we believe what you earn is your money. I think our new majority here believes what you earn is the government's money. I think most of us agree before we ask through these tax increases, before we demand that families tighten their belt, maybe us in Washington ought to be tightening our belts first to try to put this government on a diet and try to make better use of the moneys that the people send us.
