DEMOCRAT TAXES--ONCE AGAIN!
(Mr. PRICE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
Mr. PRICE of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to warn all
Americans of the looming taxation tidal wave that is coming under this
new Democrat majority.
Democrats have unveiled their tax-and-spend budget proposal which
will bring upon the American people the largest tax increase in our
Nation's history.
Rather than allow Americans to make choices about how best to spend
their own money, it is clear that Democrats feel they and Washington
bureaucrats better understand what is good for American families.
Our Democrat colleagues repeatedly claim that the Republican tax cuts
only benefit the wealthy. Well, Madam Speaker, the lowest-income
Americans are about to find out just how untrue that tired rhetoric is.
The tax hikes will hit all Americans in every tax bracket, the middle
class, low-income families and small businesses.
But there is an alternative. House Republicans have vowed to not just
extend but make permanent the pro-growth low-tax policies that have
brought recovery to our economy.
Madam Speaker, we can move away from this tired trend of big and
bigger government. We can return money back to the rightful owner, the
American taxpayer; and we should start right now.
