Sept. 17,
1997. Sen. Kerrey pauses after delivering the luncheon speech and taking
questions at the National Press Club. He proposed cutting the Social Security
payroll tax by two percentage points, with families to invest the difference
for their retirements. Further, Kerrey called for a $1,000 investment account

child tax credit. The changes would give "every American a chance to own
a piece of their country," he said.
