On the recordJuly 12, 2000
Mr. Speaker, our society values marriage as a fundamental institution that strengthens our moral fiber. Marriage teaches us about love, family, commitment, and honor. How can we promote these ideals if we continue to allow the government to impose an unfair, discriminatory, and immoral tax penalty on individuals solely because they are married? Today we have another chance to send a strong message, which is the right message, to hard-working families by voting to end the marriage tax penalty. Let us get this signed into law before Shad and Michelle are grandparents. I urge a yes vote on the rule and on the bill.
