You forgot to mention something, Paul.  That couple with the two kids who make $200K and have to pay $5K in taxes... They will also get $4,000 in dividends, so their actual out-of-pocket expenses is $1,000.  That's one half of one percent of their income.  Cry me a river.

Give the House Majority some credit.  They demonstrated political courage by putting something on the table, even though they knew it'll be tarred and feathered by you and your republican pals.  That's a lot more than Pete Kelly and his cowardly crowd has done.
