On the recordDecember 8, 2003
Mr. Speaker, at 12:12, 12:15, 2:45, 3 a.m., and 6:45 in the morning, any morning, fishermen leave the wharves of San Francisco, California, to go fish for a living and pay taxes. In the district of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Rangel), in the garment district they work in those hours for the prime time of the evening to feed their families and pay taxes. In every one of our districts in those hours of the dark of night, Americans who finance this country and run it work doing an important job. I will submit to you, if you ask them, reforming a Medicare system is important. I think if you asked them if dealing with prescription drugs for their parents and their seniors is important, they would tell you. I do not think any one of us on the campaign trail would ever belittle a fisherman at 6:45 on San Francisco's wharf or someone in the garment district of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Rangel).
