Message | Mr. Speaker, Do the Communists understand the ramifications of providing child benefits to every family? Do they realize that in doing so they are not only putting a strain on our budget, but providing the wealthy, the same ones they seemingly hate, with benefits as well? Robert Clark UPR Congressional Leader |
