“there are actually some Democrats who are outraged that those who pay no Federal income tax will not benefit from the tax credits that are contained in the Republican tax cut plan. Let us think about this for a minute. If one pays no Federal income tax, should I be upset because I am not getting a tax cut? This, in my view, is what we call the mother of all entitlement mentalities. It is kind of like complaining about not having a headache because some great new aspirin product is not going to do anything for you. Talk about not fair. So let us see if I got this straight. It is about 9 o'clock on the night of April 14 and I am filling out my 1040 and I finally get through the form, and at first I am happy as a lottery winner when I find that there is no income tax this year being paid by me. Fat zero. Then I realize hey, wait a minute. This is not fair. If Congress passes a tax cut, I will not get one because I do not pay any taxes. Suddenly now I am sad. I guess I am not as lucky as I thought.”
