Pete Sessions: “Absolutely. I believe the answer from people, if you talk to people who live in the districts that get up and go to work…”

“Absolutely. I believe the answer from people, if you talk to people who live in the districts that get up and go to work every day, they would say, We are very pleased. We love America. We support government and the essence of what it does. But today there is more than enough money in Washington, D.C. Make do with what you have. Do not come back to us. We are out producing, meaning the people back home, producing not only in efficiencies, but to the economy, to the local communities and to government, to make it work. This needs to be a bar that gets raised because it is that important of an issue. You know that there are several parts of the Constitution that put a two-thirds vote that is a requirement to be able to pass something. I believe, and I think the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Hall) agrees, that raising taxes should be one of those things that we make more difficult, that should require a consensus and a two-thirds vote.”
