But what I really am fearful of is that the proposal the gentleman is putting out here tonight will not be allowed into the discussion tomorrow, except in a very abbreviated form. I think that is unfortunate, because I think the American people ought to have a chance to choose between alternatives. That is what this government is about. Will Rogers one time said people would rather have fair taxes than lower taxes. The fact is we do not have fair taxes. The proposal that is coming down here tomorrow is one that 80 percent of the benefit goes to people above $90,000 a year in income. Now, I do not think they need a tax break. The effect of this bill tomorrow would be to give a $105,000 tax break to people making $1 million, while people who are making $40,000 will get $325.
