“every morning in America, working families get up, send someone to work, sometimes two parents to work; they earn a paycheck, and they are required by law to send a big chunk of it back to the IRS in Washington, DC, so bureaucrats can make spending decisions for their families. The Republicans in this Congress have proposed empowering families by taking those spending decisions away from the IRS and putting them back where they belong. Our friends on the left do not agree with that proposal. They want to stop this tax cut, and the only way they can do it is to find some reason to be against it, and the argument we hear day after day is that it is a tax cut for the rich. We should ask ourselves who they mean by the rich. They mean people earning $50,000 a year, like the family that the distinguished gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Gephardt] showed us. If someone owns a TV set and can listen to this debate, they are probably the rich they are talking about.”
