Mark Neumann: “You have got 108,000 just in your county in Pennsylvania, and we have only got 550,000 in all of the State of Wisconsin.…”

“You have got 108,000 just in your county in Pennsylvania, and we have only got 550,000 in all of the State of Wisconsin. Our people had better start having more kids in Wisconsin so we catch up. Seriously, it is important for my colleagues to understand that next year, starting in January, for each one of those children under the age of 17, on January 1 they can go into their place of employment and adjust their withholding taxes so they start keeping $33 per month per child more in their own paycheck instead of sending it out here. The $33 a month is the $400 total divided up over the 12 months. So if you have got a family of five, three kids under the age of 17, what they should do in January of next year is go in and increase their take-home pay by $100 a month. That is what this tax cuts means to the 550,000 families in Wisconsin and the 108,000 in your county in Pennsylvania. The other thing is, I think the emphasis on education in this tax bill was real important. I always talk to our groups, and I ask if anybody has got a freshman or a sophomore in college, and inevitably we see a bunch of hands go up. For a freshman and sophomore in college, in the vast majority of the cases, the parents will be able to keep $1,500 more of their own money instead of sending it out here to Washington. And I want to be as clear as I can be on this. This is not a deduction.…”
