On the recordJuly 30, 1999
I just want to share with my colleague, I am from rural America; and we in America are very blessed that we are having a sustained economy. But there are many of us in rural America and in the inner cities that are not prospering as much as anybody else. That is not to say we should not celebrate our prosperity. We do. But I want my colleagues to know, as we celebrate this, all of us are not eating from the same plate and the same meal and all the nutrition. Some of us are having difficulty in finding money for our schools and rural areas. Farmers are suffering. So my colleague makes the right point. We would take this kind of in the wrong direction if we give too much of a tax break and then require us to raise taxes even greater. That certainly would be a travesty, and we should not do that.
