Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I want to compliment my good friend from South Carolina who came down here and talked about what this is all about. I couldn't agree with him more. This is about families. This is about American families. He has these poster boards up there showing the American people what this is about. I want to reiterate a couple of points he mentioned. First, the most important thing we are doing here, the bulk of the relief we are providing in this tax bill is to provide middle-class families with more take-home pay, more money in the pockets of American citizens. That is what Senator Scott just talked about, and I couldn't agree more. So, on average, right now, our bill would bring the average American middle-class family about a $200 additional amount of money in their pocket per month--per month. Now, some people watching that might think it may not seem like a lot, but it is over $2,000 per year. Every tax bracket that we have right now in the Senate bill would get a reduction. So I want to echo the words of my good friend from South Carolina. It is confounding to me that our friends and colleagues on the other side of the aisle would deny hard-working Americans that extra money in their pockets. You don't hear them say that, but that is what they are doing, and they would spin and twist the facts to make the public believe the middle class is actually getting a tax increase. The public is getting spun by them.…”
