On the recordJune 26, 1997
the people of the district I represent earn between $30,000 and $40,000 a year. What does that mean to them? It means that 113,600 children in my congressional district are eligible for the $500-per-child tax credit. That means that people in the district I represent will have an additional $48 million in money that they otherwise would have paid to the Federal Government. It means to those people that they will be able to keep an additional $1,500 in money they would have paid for Federal income tax in their own pockets to give to their kids who are going to college. Who is the beneficiary of this? It is the people that I represent, the hard-working Americans, the ones earning between $30,000 and $40,000 a year. It is 113,000 children in the district that I represent. A good tax cut bill for the hard-working, middle-income American families.
