On the recordJuly 22, 2002
First of all, let's take the car benefit of $4,500. If it is necessary for medicine or for daily use or for their job, they could own a Rolls Royce according to our bill. But the fact of the matter is, no car would be taken from them. Now, if it isn't essential for that, then it would be limited to $4,500.
