Ben Cardin: “When we look at the tax proposals when fully implemented, under the Republican bill less than one-third of the tax…”

On the recordJuly 10, 1997
When we look at the tax proposals when fully implemented, under the Republican bill less than one-third of the tax relief goes to those that are of middle income, no matter what definition we use for middle income. ... when I go to my district, people say, well, it is the people at the bottom who need the benefit, not the people at the top. Where is the fairness? How does that work?
