Madam President, you have heard it before. It is probably fitting that we end on this today before final passage. But contrary to what you have heard today, extending the Trump tax cuts would prevent a multitrillion-dollar tax hike on millions of middle- and working-class Americans. To be clear, if the Trump tax cuts expire at the end of this year, taxes will go up on families and small businesses across the entire income spectrum, hitting middle-income earners hard. The reality is the Trump tax cuts reduce taxes for the overwhelming majority of Americans, and middle-class households receive the largest proportional benefits of the cuts. The highest income earners, actually, pay a greater share of the total taxes than they did before. Because of that, I urge my colleagues to vote no on this amendment. Vote on Amendment No. 2152 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question now occurs on adoption of the amendment.
