If we took our plan and yours and put them together, I would think that would be better than the Republican plan. Your plan alone is not as good as the Republican plan because it doesn't give that much relief. Our plan gives $2,500 more in the earned-income tax credit. This is helping people come off of the welfare rolls and have the opportunity to be paid to make them whole. These are people who make $12,000 to $30,000 a year, when they have two children, a family of four. It also helps people in the 15-percent bracket and in the 30-percent bracket.
