“mugging a senior citizen and stealing their money will land you in jail. Why then is it so easy for Congress to raise taxes and spend more money out of the pockets of hard-working American people? Raising taxes, sending your money to Washington, DC, should not be simple. The newly elected Congress was given a message by the American people that the days of tax and of spend are over. I am in favor of the proposal of requiring a 60-percent majority in order to raise taxes so that the taxing ways of Congress are gone forever. This will restore the fiscal discipline by which every American family must live, spend less, save more, and balance your budget. The simple solutions of the past have cost Americans millions and cost the taxpayers thousands of jobs. People work hard for their money, and it should be hard for Congress to take that from them. I urge my colleagues to require a 60-percent vote to approve all tax increases.”
