I think that I need to stress that the unfairness of the Republican tax scheme really has not gone unnoticed out in the real world, beyond the city of Washington. People have really caught on to the fact that the Republican plan is blatantly skewed to help the rich, and the bad news for the Republican leadership here in Washington is that the grassroots really understands what is happening and what we will be voting on in the next 2 days here in the House of Representatives. The people are asking us to do the right thing. I would maintain that the Democratic tax cut alternative is far superior when you deal with the concerns of the average American working family. This week as Democrats we are trying to illustrate in human terms the implications of the Republican tax scheme since we are going to be voting on this over the next 2 days.
