Incredibly. the Joint Committee on Taxation failed to recognize or at least assume that people would continue to work and work hard even if every penny of their income was taken away In income taxes. I suggest that that indicates a departure and a divorce from reality that the Joint Committee on Taxation has. and it is for that reason that it is incumbent upon us to introduce measures that are. again. commonsense. straightforward measures that the American people can understand and get behind. I notice that the speaker from Iowa had gone on from talking about taxation to talking about issues dealing with immigration. I will just say that we have had a lot of discussion in this Congress since Congress convened in January about the 9/11 recommendations or the recommendations of the 9/ 11 Commission from a couple of years ago. To me. the two most important recommendations of the 9/11 Commission that have yet to be enacted. one was quite simply to build stable democracies in Middle East.
