James A. Lewis: “Now, tell me. I want each one of you to tell me, and tell Members of the Committee, what do you say to American families…”

Now, tell me. I want each one of you to tell me, and tell Members of the Committee, what do you say to American families struggling to make ends meet who hear that their taxes are going up, to go up so multinational corporation can get a tax break? Why should they give more? Why should the middle class, why should working families, why should the poor, those at the bottom, give more so you can get less?
