Max Baucus: “The question I am asking is this: More than half of the Finance Committee bill does not address the marriage tax penalty…”

“The question I am asking is this: More than half of the Finance Committee bill does not address the marriage tax penalty problem. More than half goes to married couples who have no marriage penalty problem but who are already in a bonus situation. I am asking the Senator: Most Americans would rather have the national debt paid down. Doesn't it make more sense for us to address the marriage tax penalty problem directly and to take the rest and help pay down the national debt?”
