“Very briefly, the argument that alleges or suggests that someone making $75,000 is wealthy, we did not address that issue at all. What this chart shows, though, is that the 2.9 million families with children in private schools get more of the benefit than the 35.4 million families with children in public schools. That is the disproportion and inequity that I point out in this amendment. We have almost 36 million families getting back less of a total benefit, 48 percent, than 2.9 million families with children in private schools. That is the argument.”
