Political Quotes

“If you think that our current Tax Code is just right, that it is fair, that it is equitable to everyone, including the most powerful corporations in this country, that all are being treated fairly and are paying their fair share, and that there are not any lobbyists here in Washington that manage to get special loopholes written into the Tax Code so that they can shift the cost of our national security to you instead of paying their fair share, then the proposal that is up tonight is just right for you. The purpose of this proposal is not tax relief, but to freeze, with constitutional protection, all of the various loopholes and preferences and backdoor arrangements that plague our tax system. The provisions that make our Tax Code more complex and more inequitable so that some are not paying their fair share and those folks that are out there working hard for a living, working with small businesses and farms and ranches around this country, they are having sometimes to pay more than their fair share to make up for those who escape through the loopholes.”
