On the recordDecember 7, 2005
over half of Americans are invested in the stock market. They do have some form of dividend or capital gains and it is really their nest egg. Those are the 401(k) plans to help them in their retirement years. That is money that is put away for education for their children, and yet our Democrat colleagues on the other side of the aisle want to tax away that dream. They want to tax away that nest egg by passing a huge tax increase tomorrow. That is over half of Americans in just this one provision. Just this one provision would see a huge tax increase right before Christmas if we do not defeat this Democrat tax increase tomorrow.
