On the recordJune 19, 1997
In terms of the hard-working middle class Americans, they do need tax relief. Their tax burden right now is about 38 percent per family. That is up 1 percent from what it was 2 years prior, but it is very important for us to realize that 75 percent of the tax relief proposed goes to families with household income of $75,000 or less. Ninety-one percent of it goes to families with household income of $100,000 or less. And for families with income of $200,000 or more, there is only 1.2 percent of the money for their tax relief.

I think there's going to be a real interesting back-story here because if I'm the president right now I'm talking to John Kelly and saying, tell me what you knew, who kept this information from you if you did not know.
