Political Quotes

“today I am happy to welcome Tom Davis to Washington, DC. He has traveled here all the way from Spring, TX, to testify before the Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness, which I chair. I invited him to talk about the ways that the private sector can help increase college access for millions of Americans. Tom Davis is already doing his part. He is the owner of Davis Brothers Construction, a company of about 35 employees that builds multi-family homes. Most of his employees are hourly laborers who make a decent living but can't afford to send their kids to college. So Mr. Davis has said that, for any of his employees whose children want to go to college but can't afford it, he will pay for their tuition and books. His generosity has built fierce loyalty among his employees, and he has already sent seven kids to college who otherwise couldn't have gone. It is because of businesses like his that I introduced the Family Friendly Employers Act which gives a tax incentive to those employers who pay for their employees' children to go to college. Our country could use more family friendly employers like Tom Davis. ____________________”
