Dick Gephardt Voted Quotations

I voted for the Reagan tax cut (in 1981). It was a mistake, ... We have to learn from history. It was a worthy experiment, but it was a mistake and ... we don't want to make it again.

In 1993, as House Democratic Leader, I led the fight to pass the Clinton-Gore economic plan - a plan designed to slash the deficit, invest in education, cut taxes for working families, and ask the wealthy among us to pay their fair share... Not one Republican voted for that plan. They said it was a job killer.
