“a few thoughts on the President and our tax relief bill. If we listen to what the President has been saying, we will see that he has actually been making the case for this tax relief bill for months. The President says he supports seniors. So do we. That is why the Republican tax relief plan walls off and locks away Social Security trust fund monies for America's seniors. The President says he supports America's farmers and ranchers. So do we. That is why the Republican tax relief bill eliminates the death tax for farmers and for small businesses so that they can pass the family farm or business on to the next generation. The President says he supports working families. So do we. That is why the Republican tax relief plan reduces the marriage penalty tax. The President says he is for reducing the Federal debt. So are we. That is why the tax relief bill pays down $2.2 trillion of the public debt. It also encourages savings and investments with other targeted tax cuts. Mr. Speaker, I urge the President to listen to his own rhetoric, to join the cause in reducing the tax burden, the national debt, on all working Americans. Next year is an election year. Mr. President, this is the year for your opportunity to do something with bipartisan support.”
