On the recordMay 23, 2001
continuing on my time, if the gentleman would look at the Democratic tax plan presented on the floor on three different occasions, the single largest dollar amount under one of the major provisions occurred in 2010; the second largest amount in 2009; the third largest amount in 2008, et cetera. The point is the Democratic substitute is structured similar to everyone else's. The motion to instruct requires us to meet a standard the other side of the aisle chose not to meet themselves on virtually every one of the items they have in their bill. Mr. Speaker, I understand their desire and what they want. All I am saying is when the other side of the aisle chooses to impose a standard on the majority, I would hope that the minority would have already honored that standard. Mr. Speaker, if the gentleman would like to be refreshed on what the Democratic tax plan is, it is here and available.
