between those who would keep taxes higher on taxpayers to transfer the money to welfare recipients, and those of us who believe that after 16 years, it is actually time to have a bill dedicated to helping taxpayers and to giving mothers and fathers more take-home pay and resources to take care of their children.
We believe there ought to be a tax cut for those who save, invest and create jobs. And I'm very prepared to take on any kind of class warfare argument,
We think you can get a balanced budget and you can get a tax cut, ... We think both can be done this year, and we're trying to find a way to make sure that we have every opportunity to both balance the budget with smaller government, with reforms, and to have tax cuts for the American people.
I want to get this bill signed, so for the first time in 16 years, the American people have a tax cut, but we're not going to give it up flippantly, we're going to work to keep it.

I have people who come to this floor, who claim they represent the workers, who say they are for an international bank institution that is totally secret, that is run by a bureaucrat whose major policy is to raise taxes on workers in the Third World to pay off New York banks, ... Now that doesn't sound like populism to me.
We're going to try to find everything we can to get the bill signed, and I have every reason to believe they'll be signed,
Isn't that the complete clear implication of that tape? And shouldn't somebody at the White House have a law enforcement responsibility to find out did the White House, in fact, threaten her job. Shouldn't that person be fired summarily?
