Mr. Speaker, how mystifying this debate must be to Mr. and Mrs. America, because here we stand in the people's House finding ourselves enshrouded, encumbered with some frustrations dealing with something our Founders put together, and that is the difference between these two institutions, this bicameral legislative branch. ... the bottom line is this: for the Members of this House today, a vote in favor of this legislation will result in tax relief for the American family. That is the basic premise. This is the tool we use to achieve that dream. Mr. Speaker, all too often we hear from constituents that they would like us to focus on results. We can disagree without being disagreeable. If Members oppose meaningful tax relief, then oppose this legislation.
