“I feel like our quest for tax relief is like a few lines from the song by the Lord of La Mancha: To dream the impossible dream, to right the unrightable wrong, to bear with unbearable sorrow. It has been 16 years since we have had tax relief, and still we hear so many reasons why we have to vote against the tax relief plan. When you do not want to do something like vote for tax relief, any excuse is a good excuse: too much for the rich, even though the rich are considered a family of four where each parent is making $32,000 a year; not enough income tax relief for those who are considered poor, even though they pay no income tax. There will be only one tax relief package to vote for, it will be the agreement between the Congress, the President, and the American people. There will be no excuse for voting against tax relief. Mr. Speaker, let us dream the impossible dream. Let us give tax relief to working Americans.”
