We have this great tradition in New Hampshire of less taxes, less spending, and fiscal responsibility. It is an award of which I am very proud. If you advocate those sales taxes, if you advocate those income taxes, if you advocate more taxes, you won't be reelected. There are a lot of people who said, let's have a sales or income tax, and they have been defeated and have not been heard from since, and many of them had to leave town. So President Bush has picked up the torch from Governor Thomson, and New Hampshire is proud of that.
Taxes have to be used responsibly.
As I said today, when I was asked about the National Taxpayers Union rating, it does not mean we do not spend money. We do spend money. We have a responsibility to spend money for our military, for those in need, or whatever. But we have to spend it responsibly. I think that is the key issue.
