“more confusion on the Democrat side of the aisle; it is no wonder that their President is reaching over to Republicans to try to work on a responsible tax bill. As my colleagues know, the interesting thing is in this tax debate we need to talk about tax responsibility and social responsibility. We need in America a tax system that is fair and honest, a Tax Code that is clear, one that encourages and rewards work ethics. And that is why Republicans are supporting a $500-per-child tax credit for middle-class working families. My wife called me yesterday about this gentleman in our district who is on welfare. He is 30 years old, and he has 16 kids at 30, and his quote was: The Lord said be fruitful and multiply. Now I am a father of four. I think the Lord speaks a little bit more broadly than that, such as 'You need to be paying for your kids.' But under the Democrat proposal, if one does not pay taxes, they will still be able to get the $500-per-child tax credit that middle-class working families who pay taxes are eligible to get. Huge difference.”
