As a small businessman who started his business career under George H.W. Bush and operated that business all the way through all the administrations up to and including the Biden administration, I can unequivocally say that the Trump tax policies in the Trump administration were the best for small businesses, period. That is why I joined the majority of the Americans across this country to vote to make those Trump policies permanent. You see, Mr. Speaker, it doesn't matter if you have two college degrees, no college degrees, Brown, Black, White, Trump's policies lifted all boats. That is why I encourage my colleagues to join me, pass this bill, and vote for Main Street.
