Fine, I admit it, you caught us red-handed -- the Republican Party is the party of the "rich."
More specifically and accurately, though, we are the party of those who aspire to be everything their dreams will allow. We want nothing more than a nation of prosperous people who live happy, productive, and dignified lives with long-term financial security. It is from that perspective that Republicans are fighting for all people so they can build better lives for themselves and their families.
The House Budget Committee, on which I serve, has held a series of hearings regarding the “War on Poverty,” to find out why it has all but failed, and to determine a better way forward, so that those who live in poverty can build better lives for themselves. Today, the committee continues this discussion as we focus on the best ways to help families defeat poverty.
During a recent hearing called “Lessons from the Frontlines,” we were honored to hear from a panel of witnesses who have made it their life work to confront poverty.
As much as my viewpoint differs from some of my of Budget Committee colleagues, our witnesses would also have differing views.
