Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I believe the American people have come to realize that every spring about this time, as sure as daylight savings time going into effect and Easter and Passover coming along and kids anticipating their graduation from school, that it is tax time on April 15, and what they can expect is the same old complicated Tax Code. But they can be reassured that Republicans will be out here talking about it. All those American citizens that are out there now working on their tax returns may not find a great deal of reassurance that after 6 years in office, all that our Republican colleagues, after 6 years of holding control in this House, all that our Republican colleagues have to offer this morning is the same old recycled speeches they have been giving and the same approach for the last 6 years. Well, what have the Republicans done for the ordinary taxpayer that is out there struggling through their returns to simplify that code? Well, today, after 6 years of Republican leadership in this House, it probably now stretches above the clock, because they have added an additional 100 sections more or less to the Tax Code.”
