“It's no coincidence at all that we've had strong economic growth after the tax cuts.”
Dan Mitchell
“There is a direct link between the federal tax cut of 2001 and state tax increases in 2003. When the federal government's mistakes force states to raise their taxes, it not only robs Peter to pay Paul, but it hurts hard-working families and it undermines our economy's strength.”
Senator John Kerry
“Taxes are usually permanent, but tax cuts aren't.”
Peggy Venable
“This year we're debating about what taxes we're going to cut, not whether we're going to have any tax cuts.”
Joe Negron
“If you raise the taxes on these people, you might not have the jobs to provide, so the tax cuts are incredibly important.”
Tom DeLay
“We should not be cutting taxes by borrowing, ... We do not have the capability of having both productive tax cuts and large expenditure increases, and presume that the deficit doesn't matter.”
Alan Greenspan
“Making the tax cuts permanent is one thing I think he can push through. That feeds into job growth and his concept of an ownership society.”
Andrew Smith
