On the recordApril 11, 2000
What is really at stake is, once again, we want to get the marriage tax penalty eliminated. We can talk schedules, procedures, rules, quorums, and all the other stuff into which the Senate gets caught. On occasion, I hear from my mother. She says: You know, what is all that stuff you all talk about up there, all those rules and all the extraneous things? Get to the point. The point is, we want to get rid of the marriage tax penalty. Let's see if we can find a way to do that this week.
