Representative Sutton, I've heard you talking on this floor about the plight of Ohio workers. I've heard you speak to the wisdom of sound investment for workers, that it's about empowering the worker. They have a voice in Betty Sutton that shows compassion, care and concern. They have a voice in Representative Garamendi about being smart about our agenda. We must see it through the eyes of the American worker--people who are being taxed unfairly because they make money through work--and know we're taxing differently those who make money on money. It's a different scenario. Your advocacy, your passion, your empathy for workers is stated repeatedly from both of you on this floor, and that's what should motivate and inspire us.
