lies, lies, lies. Sometimes you have just got to deal with common sense. Who gets overtime? When we cut the tax on overtime, the CEO of the pharmaceutical company who makes $12 million a year, does he get overtime? As a matter of fact, most white-collar people don't get overtime. Overtime is for the workingman. When we cut taxes on overtime, it is obviously designed to benefit the workingman. Who gets tips? The workingman and the workingwoman, that is who is getting tips. When we cut taxes on tips, of course, we are aiming at the average guy. We have a special cut for seniors. Our seniors--wealthy people, not normally--if you look at the special tax cut for seniors, we didn't include the super-wealthy seniors. We were aiming at the average guy. Wherever you look on your tax return, I beg America to look at how much they paid in taxes a year ago and how much they paid in taxes this year. Again and again, the workingman is going to find out that we have delivered a workingman's and workingwoman's tax cut.
