“I will just point out one or two additions to this, and it certainly relates directly to the idea of people keeping more of their own money as opposed to sending it to Washington. Did my colleagues know today the Federal Government in Washington, DC is spending about $6,500 on behalf of every man, woman, and child in America? So when we talk about these tax cuts or we talk about people keeping more of their own money, they are already sending $6,500 per person for every man, woman, and child in the United States of America. That is the equivalent of how much this Government spends today. When we talk about tax cuts, the real question we should be asking ourselves is, do we think Washington could get by on, say, $6,000 for every man, woman, and child? It almost gets to be laughable when we talk about it, if it was not sad that we are taking that much money from our families, and if it was not for the burden that taking that money from our families places on us and the strains that those things place on our families.”
