I don't know where the Senator got his chart, but I am telling him that factually any couple that made $52,000 under the bill we passed yesterday, the Republican bill, with 8 or 9 Democrats who voted with you, would get tax relief exactly--exactly as I announced on the floor or I will eat the paper. It is $1,125, plus $212, and that is 1,300 and some odd dollars, not $300. So the Senator's chart is factually incorrect.
