“the Democrats today seem to be characteristically void of facts and rich in rhetoric in their deliveries of one-minutes. Under the Republican tax bill, the income level of $75,000 per household or less than $75,0000 is going to get 76 percent of the tax relief. Families with incomes over $200,000 get 1.2 percent. I do not understand how they can say that is giving more taxes to the wealthy. Mr. Speaker, in 1992 the President ran on the platform of middle-class tax cuts but instead, as President, in 1993 passed the largest tax increase in history, including the largest-ever increase in welfare. But after a lot of debate, welfare was reformed. Today the number of dependents, people who are dependent on government, has decreased by 15 percent. Yet, the President wants to expand welfare and not give middle-class tax relief. What I am saying is he wants to give a $500-per-child tax credit to people who are on welfare and not give it to 11 million middle-class children who need the money very, very desperately for school and education and shelter.”
