On the recordJuly 30, 1999
I mentioned it earlier that 45 percent of the benefits in the Republican package go to the top one percent of American families. These families, on average, will save $54,000. These families typically have incomes of over three-quarters of a million dollars a year already. So the decision on who should benefit from this tax bill is as severely mistaken as the analysis that led to the unreasonable and fiscally irresponsible size of the tax bill. Yes, indeed, the, quote, average person in my State would save $3,500. That is over a 10-year period. So that is $350 a year. But that is the average person. Not the median but the mean.
