Orrin Hatch actually said...

"If the American people do not believe a tax reform proposal is fair, it is hard to see, politically, how it could be enacted."

"I strongly favor personal responsibility."

"Fairness, in the context of the tax code, means that similarly situated taxpayers should be treated similarly."

"If conservatives and Republicans run and hide as soon as liberals and Democrats scream their class-warfare slogans, this will go nowhere."
