Mr. Speaker, Greeting · 20 wordsI thank the gentleman from Tennessee for his remarks. I loved the opportunity to work with him on that bill.Greeting Procedure · 9 wordsAs he brings up 199A, it is always fascinating.Procedure Positioning · 26 wordsThe one thing I wish we didn’t have to go through back here--there is a long list of that, I guess--is the misrepresentation of that bill.Positioning Claims · 86 wordsThe vast majority of it is targeted at small business and middle- and lower-income Americans. There is a constant, let me call it, like I said, misrepresentation of ``this goes to the billionaires and doesn’t help the working class.’’ Then explain to me why the child tax credit is income capped, ¹so middle- and lower-income Americans are the ones who take advantage of it. Then you add in the standard deduction, things like 199A, those are all targeted at small businesses and lower- and middle-income Americans. Positioning · 17 wordsIt is frustrating and disheartening to constantly hear the misrepresentation from the left on that tax policy.Positioning Procedure · 6 wordsIt is what it is, unfortunately, ProcedurePositioning · 22 wordsbut it is one of the things that really wears on you because it is just not accurate, and they know it, PositioningUnearned certaintyProcedure · 6 wordsbut it is where we are.Procedure Thanks · 9 wordsI thank the gentleman from Tennessee for sharing that.Thanks Procedure · 31 wordsI now yield to the gentleman from the great State, maybe the greatest State, I think we can call it the greatest State in the United States of Utah (Mr. Kennedy).Procedure
