“You know, all this discussion about tax cuts, we sometimes get lost in the fact that we are even having a debate about cutting taxes as opposed to raising taxes from 1993. Whenever I am out with folks back home and I have got a problem conveying to them all the technical details of the tax cuts, I challenge anyone. Just walk into your church on Sunday and find one of the families with 3 kids, and when they are walking out of church just ask them if they understand the idea that they are going to get $500 back for each one of those children. It is their money to start with. They get to keep $500 more for each one of those children, and if one of them happens to be going off to college, they are going to get up to $1500 to help pay that college tuition, which is a huge problem for many families in America today. They understand that. They absolutely understand that they get a tax , they get to reduce the taxes they are going to send to Washington by a thousand bucks for the 2 kids still at home, and they absolutely understand that they get to keep $1,500 to help pay for college tuition. They understand that. And you can have all the jargon you want out here. They understand that they are going to get to keep more of their own money in their own pocket instead of sending it to Washington, and that is what this is all about.”
