Clear Message

Rep. Huebsch said both sides have sent a "clear message" on taxes today. He said the Democrats' need to tax is "insatiable."

"We (Republicans) want to cut taxes, and you (Democrats) want to raise them," he said. "That is the message that is repeatedly heard here today."

He also warned about the Democrats' calls for tax fairness. "Whenever you hear tax fairness, hold on to your wallet," he said.

Sen. Robson said it is true that the contrast couldn't be clearer. "The Senate Democrats focused our tax cuts on what people really need," she said.

She said Huebsch's "hold on to your wallet" quip "is good for a bumper sticker, but it sure doesn't meet reality."
