provides for common sense tax relief in the future. We have the largest surplus in history, which means the taxpayers are being overcharged.
We now have the largest surplus in history, ... As we commit ourselves to finding ways to secure our retirement programs, we also commit ourselves to bringing fairness to the tax code.
The American people want us to go to work. They want us to produce good policy, ... The ability for us to save Social Security and Medicare in the future, the ability to give American workers and working families more of their money so that they can keep it in their pocket instead of giving it to the tax collectors.

Congress originally enacted the moratorium to prevent thousands of state and local taxing jurisdictions from using the Internet as a cash cow. Rather than slow down the Internet with a slew of new taxes, we ought to extend the moratorium to allow the Web to reach its full potential.
The Kerry plan is simple: Add more money to our national deficit, spend more money here in Washington, raise taxes on job creation,
We will start by providing relief from the unfair marriage penalty tax.
