Republicans Issue Tax Day Warning Against Democrats' Spending Habits
By Antonia Aguilar - University of New Mexico / Talk Radio News Service
Republican leaders took tax day 2010 as an opportunity to issue a warning against the economic trajectory taken by Democrats.
“Americans are sending more and more of their hard earned money to Washington only to see it go to wasteful stimulus programs and a tax and spend agenda that is destroying American jobs,” said House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio).
Boehner argued out that the recently passed health care bill contains at least twenty taxes that fall back on employers.
House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) noted that if spending continues at current levels, Americans could begin to feel it in their checkbooks for years to come.
“We see that we ought to stop the spending,” said Cantor. “We ought to stop the borrowing that will only bring on higher taxes and that will only make tax day 2011, 2012 and ... after more difficult on the American family.”
