every day I hear this big story about how we are making big tax cuts for the rich. Let's be abundantly clear once again, today, that the current tax rate on the wealthiest Americans is 37 percent. Under the new law we will be passing soon enough, it will stay at 37 percent. The people who will get the true tax cuts in this bill are people who have earned Social Security, people who have earned tips, and have earned overtime pay. That is the message we need to make clear. It is 37 percent now, and it will be in the future. We are not cutting taxes for the rich. We are looking out for the folks that make America work every day and who have been hardest hit in the last 4 years by high inflation and failed government policies.

I thought the gentleman's words were spot on, simply getting the government out of the way. This is not about spending. This is about common sense and releasing the idea of the American free market system. It really shows the support this…
