A vote for the three-fifths tax proposal is a vote to keep the gravy train running for fat cats and millionaires. It will make it more difficult to lift the burden off those who need tax relief most, working Americans. Under this proposal, it will be much tougher to touch the $200 billion a year in corporate welfare that big business is handed through tax loopholes and tax exemptions, and tax fairness will be harder to achieve because this proposal will put a virtual lock on tax cuts that the super-rich received in the 1980's. The new majority should be embarrassed that it is promoting a middle-class tax break while pushing changes that will make it more difficult to obtain tax fairness. I urge a 'no' vote for this misguided proposal.
