Mr. Speaker, let's talk about who benefits from this bill. A single mom, a waitress in Nevada is working long hours. She is raising one child. She is living paycheck to paycheck. She gets a bigger standard deduction underneath our legislation. She won't pay taxes on tips in our legislation. She gets a boosted child tax credit. That is a tax cut of $4,891. That is not pennies. That is real money for working Americans. This is what it means to stand with the working class and millions of tipped workers.
