On the recordApril 15, 1996
As I said, it comes to almost 50 percent. I think it might be interesting... this administration has added almost $3,000 of new costs to this average family. If you are making gross about $40,000 and you have a new $3,000 bill to send to the Government, it is a wake-up call. That is 15 percent of lost disposable income as a direct result of the policies of this administration. It is incredible. As I recall, during the debate we were only going to affect the wealthy.
