Political Quotes

“Mr. President, since we now know that $10 million did not meet the threshold, we are debating who in this country is so rich that they don't need a tax cut. That one didn't pass. So here is my proposal: Can we at least agree among all of us that no one making more than $100 million per year should get a tax cut? The median income in this country is about $80,000 per year, and it would take 1,245 years for someone making the median income in America to earn $100 million. That is about 15 lifetimes. Does somebody that rich need a tax cut? I don't think so. Vote yes if you agree. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Idaho.”
