I rise this morning to look at the results of last night's elections and see that the people have spoken and they do not believe it is selfish for the working families of this great Nation to want to keep more of their own money in their own home and spend it on their families, rather than sending it to whatever the taxing organization might be, whether it be Washington or their local tax burden. We understand that the President said that he believes it is selfish, selfish, for people to support tax cuts. Mr. President, it is not selfish for our hard-working families that are going to receive the $400 per child tax credit to want to keep that money in their home to use on their families rather than send it to Washington, DC. It is not selfish for a hard-working family that is maybe now working three jobs to want to keep more of their own hard-earned money in their family so they only need to work two jobs instead of three to make ends meet, so they can keep more money there and spend more time with their families because they are now only working two jobs instead of three. That is not selfish. That is family values of this great Nation that we live in. That is the opportunity for parents to spend more time with their children.
