Madam Chairwoman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Chairwoman, can you believe this? We broke our printer. However, thank heaven we didn't break the markers. So I thought actually just because we are trying to do fact-based, the average family's taxes are going up at the end of this year $2,853, and 62 percent of taxpayers will see hikes. I am sorry, we just didn't have time to make a much prettier chart for everyone. Remember that after 2017 we actually moved up, some of that were some of the deductions and things that were added, we moved up the threshold, so almost one-half of our taxpaying population actually didn't pay income tax. They still had payroll taxes and FICA and those things. A bunch of that population that has not paid taxes in years and years and years will be getting tax bills with the opposition to this. Madam Chair, we are going to come back and go over more. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, first, I am going to ask everyone's--let me extend an apology. I have fairly severe asthma and just got off an attack, so I am pumping down some inhaled steroids, just routine. Also, last weekend, I lost my voice. Should I be…
