"As April 15th approaches, one thing is on everyone’s mind – taxes. Last week, my office and UGA’s VITA program held a tax prep workshop in Athens. I thank Georgia United Credit Union and VITA for joining us on Friday, and commend them for their great effort in serving the Athens community and helping them with their taxes. "

"The President knows we can avoid these across-the-board cuts without raising taxes. And my Republican colleagues and I are more than ready to work with Democrats to go through our budget line-by-line and target wasteful programs. I hope that the President will call on the Senate to work with us to make these cuts before the sequester takes effect. "

"We cannot continue to let irresponsible spending in Washington crush the hope that our children and grandchildren will have better life than us. That’s why I voted against a bill that gets rid of the debt ceiling for the next four months. If we give the federal government a free pass to borrow unlimited amounts of money – they’ll do it – and you better believe this Administration will find a way to spend it. "

"This week, the House approved the Hurricane Sandy Disaster Relief Bill. Despite my best efforts to cut wasteful spending out of the bill, it still ended up costing taxpayers upward of fifty billion dollars. I am extremely disappointed that the Administration used this disaster as an excuse to approve millions of dollars in funding for projects that don’t belong in this bill. "

"Last week, when we began the new Congress, I started my serving by reintroducing the most important piece of legislation that I’ve ever written – the Sanctity of Human Life Act. I also picked up the mantle on some of former Congressman Ron Paul’s bills."

"I’m fighting for responsbile fiscal policy to turn back the spending, pay off the debt, and get our economy moving, so people can have jobs and we can have a strong America again."

"The only way to dig ourselves out of debt is by bringing this debate back to the basics. We need to cut spending, salvage our entitlement programs, and reform the tax code so it encourages growth instead of punishes it."

"I’m not going to be one of the guys who caves in. I refuse to be a member of the party of slightly higher taxes. Letting the Democrats raise taxes would punish – not reward – the free enterprise system and our job creators."

"There’s no way to tax our way out of this mess. The only real way forward is to attack the crux of our problem, which means drastically cutting spending."

"Raising taxes on family businesses will crush the incentive to hire new employees and for those businesses to expand."

"To turn this country around, we have to go back to the basics - back to what our Founding Fathers laid out in the Constitution. We need to get rid of all the unnecessary bureaucracy and the outrageous spending in Washington, and start building bridges to send powers and dollars back to the states and the people."

"For forty-two consecutive months, unemployment across our nation has been above eight percent. There are no excuses anymore. The Obama Administration is falling way behind on its promises for job creation."

"Last month House Republicans passed a bill that repeals Obamcare and the hundreds of billions of dollars in new taxes that it imposes on job creators and middle-class families."

"We the People can make a difference and turn the tide against more taxes, and bigger government."
