More comments from the Club for Growth speech:
Thompson: “While I was fighting for tax cuts in Congress, others were opposing tax cuts in New York”
No greater friend to American taxpayers than a Thompson administration
McLean, VA - Senator Fred Thompson today delivered the following remarks at the Club for Growth Fall Economic Policy Conference Luncheon:
“There has been no greater friend to the American taxpayer than Fred Thompson, and there will be no greater friend than a Fred Thompson Administration. I ran as a consistent, tax-cutting, small government conservative. I supported all three major tax cuts put before me in the Senate. As Chairman of the Government Affairs Committee, I sought to save the American taxpayer $20 billion in wasteful spending. The Bush tax cuts must be made permanent, and we must cut government spending. I am the only consistent, pro-growth conservative in the race.
“While I was fighting for tax cuts in Congress, others were opposing tax cuts in New York state. Others were claiming not to be raising taxes but were instead raising every state-mandated fee and imposing ‘hidden taxes’ on unsuspecting taxpayers. While others were repudiating Reagan-Bush tax policies, I was fighting for them.”
Now THAT was a giant big ol’ country boy bitch slap to the NE liberal pukes trying to fake their way to the nomination!!
