I bring good news today talking about what is happening right here in our great House. First and foremost, what I am most pleased about is, isn't it refreshing that when politicians talk during election time, they actually for a change keep the promises that they made to the public. The President promised the idea that we would get America back on track, secure our border, and reduce taxes for those hardest hit over the last 4 years. When people look at the tax bill they are working on, what is called the big, beautiful bill, the great thing about it is that who gets helped most. Those folks who earn overtime, who earn tips, who have earned Social Security, those are the folks being helped by this tax package we are putting together. One of the myths that is out there, over and over I hear on this floor every day, is that somehow this is a big tax cut for the rich. Mr. Speaker, let me inform the public very clearly: The current tax rate for the rich is 37 percent. Under this bill, the tax rate will be 37 percent.
