well , mr. speaker , you can take away our right to go to conference , our right to amend bills , but one thing you can not take away is our right to vote .  we have a game called 3 card molly in new york .  you never know which one is under the shell .  so they have an opportunity to say that they want to help the wealthiest americans , but they like to give a whole lot of talk to those people who , through no fault of their own , except the ineptness and the inability of the republicans to correct it , they got caught in the alternative minimum tax .  now , they will scream out that they took care of it on the suspension bill .  well , you do not have to be a parliamentarian to know when you send something to that other side and put it on the suspension calendar , you had better send a prayer over with it because any one guy can stand up and say i object .  but when you cover it because you believe in it and put it in the reconciliation bill , it means that is what you really want to do .  at the end of the day , when we vote , all we are saying is , we ask the conferees , whenever they might meet , that they are instructed by this house to take care of those who really deserve the tax privilege the most .  take care of those who were not really thrown into this thing because of increased income , but were thrown into the alternative minimum tax that was not supposed to capture them , but they got there because of inflation .  in 3 card molly , you do not know what is going to happen .  but we will know at the end of this vote something that john lewis knows that they said in the civil rights movement , and that is , which side are you on ?  what a great opportunity .  take away everything you want .  take away our votes , our opportunity to express ourselves , give us rules that you like to give us .  but , on this vote , at the end of the day , people might ask how did you treat the alternative minimum tax ?  some people might say , well , it did come up in the house .  it was not important enough to put in the reconciliation bill and it was not important enough to allow a lot of debate .  we put it on the suspension calendar because it was not paid for and we did not think it would be controversial .  and so , with all of the debate , what is going to happen
