Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement on Tax Day.

“As many Americans put the finishing touches on their tax forms today, they should remember where their tax dollars are going these days,” said Congressman Price. “Far too much is going to finance a job-killing agenda that takes power and money away from the private sector and gives it to Washington. Their tax dollars are paying for a public sector stimulus and bailouts with no end in sight. Soon enough, they’ll be paying for a government takeover of health care, too. Meanwhile, this agenda is saddling employers with higher taxes and other obstacles to growth that wipe out the job opportunities necessary to keep the American Dream alive for everyone.

“Democrats have already imposed $670 billion in tax increases since January 2009 and hope to add a National Energy Tax and a European-style Value-Added Tax into the mix soon. Yet they still manage to rack up trillions of dollars in new debt that will force our children to pay even higher taxes in the future. Americans have had enough of the tax increases, enough of the skyrocketing debt, and enough of this job-killing agenda. On this Tax Day, Washington should admit to itself that it has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.”
