I again just want to comment on my colleague from Wisconsin making this very practical common sense point. How do you offer a tax cut to those who pay no taxes, and, Mr. Speaker, although there are those who might misunderstand, this is not standing here pointing the finger of blame toward any one segment of the society. It is simply asking the very practical question. It would seem to me that only in this town, with some who champion the notion of government being the source of so much, that even the notion would be advanced that those who pay no taxes should somehow receive a tax cut. But again, when you leave this Beltway and the culture that has grown up around this Capital City, and travel to the Sixth District of Arizona, or travel to the great State of Wisconsin, or places in-between, and go to any town and talk to any taxpayer, they will reaffirm the absurdity of the notion of offering tax cuts to those who pay no taxes. And again, Mr. Speaker, and this is something again not to cast a pall of partisanship, but to simply rejoice in the fact that here in this institution we can debate reasonable differences in a reasonable fashion.
