But a determined Republican Congress has been turning the tide, slowly but surely--even in the face of frequent vetoes and partisan obstruction--because it has believed in its mission of returning power to the people. People are empowered when they can keep most of the fruits of their own labor, and use those resources to provide for families and their future the way they feel is best. People are empowered when the tax laws are a help, not a hindrance, to them choosing and being able to afford a good education, medical care that meets their specific needs, the right balance between work and family, and secure retirement planning.
