PA Senator Rick Sanoturm said this on Fox News:
"A lot of the reason two parents work is ... to make ends meet. One of the reasons for that is the federal government, back in the 1950s, took, on average, from the average American family, 2 percent of their income in taxes. Today that same federal government takes 25 percent of their income in taxes."
"If you look at the difference between then and now, you see that huge difference, and one other difference. You have a working spouse now, in most American families; you didn't in the 1950s. On average, that working spouse earns 25 percent of what the primary worker in that household earns ... in other words, many spouses are working today simply to make up the difference of what the federal government is robbing them."
"We need to change that kind of policy - we need a tax policy that is directly more pro-family, that helps people make choices about what's best for them."
"I believe we solve problems best, and America is better, if we look first at the family, strengthen the family, and build up from there, as opposed to the top down ... the government raining down their ideology upon us."
"Families are being destroyed, communities are being destroyed" by the far-left and far-right ideology that says you have the freedom to do whatever you want, no matter what - that choice is the maximum virtue."
