Political Quotes

“I too was struck by the words of the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Kingston) because I think he has the rhetoric right, but I am concerned about the target for his concern. The Republican bill takes resources and extends them to families who make up to $309,000 a year for a family of three. I have people like that in my neighborhood who would like compassion, who would like some help, who are soccer moms and dads. But frankly, I am more concerned about those parents that do not have the resources to be soccer moms and dads, that parent who has three kids and works at minimum wage and who is left off altogether. Somehow the concern that we have to raise the level to over $300,000 and ignore the people who are most in need, I find disingenuous and I find it sad. This is not any confusion about whether or not the Democrats want to provide assistance for the middle class.”
