On Fri, 10 Jan 2003, President Bush was paraphrased as saying:


> Using the example of a married couple with two children and income of

It just occurred to me -- isn't $40,00 close to the median household income?

So if this plan goes through, from that point forward, half of the population essentially won't pay any income tax at all. Just payroll.
