Those are our priorities as well as the President's. Last year the President vetoed a tax package which included a reduction of the marriage tax. Now he says he favors reducing the marriage tax. That's a priority with Congress, too. And the House is already preparing another bill.
Marriage is one of society's bedrock institutions.
We want to encourage it not punish it. So, clearly, we should reduce or eliminate the marriage tax. Finally, President Clinton says he agrees with the concept. There's some disagreement over the details, but the Congress is committed to working those out. There was a lot more in the speech.
