“It is time to end corporate welfare as we know it, and many of the kinds of tax cuts we are talking about before for individuals, certainly the capital gains tax on homes, would be eliminated or could be eliminated if we were to go after our Tax Code and make the necessary adjustments and close the loopholes and end corporate welfare. Great injustices have been done over the past 2 years as we have sought to cut back on expenditures. We have gone after the poor, we have used a microscope and focused it on the weakest and poorest of Americans. A great injustice has been done in the welfare cuts. It is estimated that as many as 2 million children will go hungry as a result of welfare cuts. A great injustice has been done in the immigration reform. The cuts that take place as a result of immigration reform are elderly people who are not citizens, who in large numbers will end up going hungry, and some will starve, you know.”
