He said she faced a "tollgate" on the road to the middle class, and he ordered his economists to smooth the way. "I want a package that deals directly with this problem," he said. Through the summer and fall of 1999, Bush's economists, led by supply-sider Larry Lindsey, trooped down to Austin with proposal after proposal to lower the marginal tax rate for all payers and eliminate Bush's tollgate.
