Artur Davis said "sometimes I know a lot of the people listening to these debates hear us talking about a lot of sound and fury, and you would almost have the impression, when we hear the words ``tax cuts'' over and over again, you would almost have the impression that we are talking about real money for some people. The reality is that for 53 percent of the families who are listening right now around this country, the tax cut they will receive is $100 or less a year, not $100 or less a paycheck but $100 or less a year. The middle-income Americans in this country will receive a tax cut on average of $217 a year, which by my math is around $20-some a month." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
