Mr. Speaker. when Republicans promised welfare reform. who would have guessed that would mean a $63 million special tax break for billionaire Rupert Murdoch? When Republicans promised immigration reform. who would have guessed that they would mean billionaires should be able to avoid hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes they owe by simply renouncing their U.S. citizenship? When Republicans promised to reorder American priorities. who would have guessed that would mean Republicans would vote to protect Star Wars but not to protect Social Security? When Republicans promised middleclass tax cuts. who would have guessed that meant people making over $200.000 a year would enjoy an $11.000 a year tax bonus?
