“I did not want to see that headline this morning, but I did. And I did have a chance to take a look at it. Let me say, first of all, to the Senator from North Dakota that long before I had the honor of being elected to this body, I admired the Senator from North Dakota when he was in the other body as one of the true leaders in the Congress on the issue of tax reform and tax fairness. He knows this stuff. And so when he speaks about what this is all about, and what the tax cut for all Americans supposedly, but especially for wealthy Americans, is all about, he knows exactly what he is talking about. He was a key force for the positive aspects of the 1986 tax reform, parts of which I think are at least an example of when Washington got some things right. So I think his comment is very appropriate. What I want to say in response, since I know the Senator wants to speak at more length about the tax cut, is that there is a common thread between the various parts of the contract.”
