“An important point here that I would like to make is the Augers are not the only family in my congressional district who are going to benefit from this tax relief package. Indeed, the Heritage Foundation, a think tank here in Washington, DC, did a calculation for me indicating that 84,000 families in my congressional district will see their income taxes go down based on this Republican middle-class tax cut package. That will mean $39 million in the pockets of working families in my congressional district, which includes Brevard County, Indian River County, Osceola County, and portions of Polk County in Florida. I am sure in the gentleman from Minnesota's district, it is ditto. He has got thousands and thousands of families that will benefit from it. This is a very important point: When we put more money in their pockets, in working families' pockets, it not only makes it easier for them to make ends meet, it not only makes it easier for them to be able to send their kids to college with the tuition tax credits that we are providing, but it is also going to be good for the local economy, it is going to be good for the local businessman.”
