“It was the marriage tax elimination act, which gives the average couple in America $1,400 in tax relief that they would not have had otherwise. It will apply to 21 million families in America. In my State of Arkansas, it will apply to over 200,000 families. It is a penalty that they pay because they are married that they would not pay otherwise. It is a penalty in the form of higher taxes. If we can help the married couples in the United States, the married couples in Arkansas by providing some tax relief in the form of doing away with a penalty they should not pay, then I think we have done something very good for America, very good for our couples and this is certainly an appropriate day to remind America of what we did in this Congress.”
