QOTD: "I keep hearing my Democrat colleagues speak of “compromise,” This hypocrisy is laughable. Where was the compromise from Democrats with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), the nearly $1 trillion stimulus bill, or Cap and Trade?

Enough with the rhetorical demagoguery from liberal progressives about oil subsidies (I believe we need to cut the corporate/business tax rate to 20% from 35% and eliminate subsidies and loopholes), on taxing the rich and “shared sacrifice” (the top 1% of taxpayers pay 34% taxes, top 5% taxpayers pay 57% of taxes, top 25% taxpayers pay 86% of federal taxes… move to a flat personal income tax of 13-15% and eliminate loopholes), and no more about corporate jets (this is only about a $300 million in savings per year, and the Democrats fail to remember, it was President Obama who added this tax loophole into his stimulus bill).

Revenues come from tax code reform, not tax increases!" --Rep. Allen West
