"Mr. Speaker, the House just passed H.R. 9, purporting to give a temporary tax cut to small businesses.

Once a dollar has been spent, it has already become a tax, taken either from today or from tomorrow to pay off deficits."

"Mr. Speaker, a defining aspect of the American tradition is that groups of citizens band together for a wide variety of civic purposes. They recruit volunteers, raise funds, and spend those funds to promote whatever project or cause brings them together."
