I thank my friend. Mr. Speaker, we keep hearing that this is a small business tax cut. It is not. It is a bait and switch. One- half of this so-called ``small business tax cut'' will go to millionaires. So you call it a small business tax cut, and they give away the store to millionaires, Mr. Speaker. They are saying that we have to dismantle Medicare because they say we can't afford it on the one hand, and on the other hand they are lavishing millionaires with a $46 billion tax cut. If you're one of 125,000 millionaires in America, you get $58,000 from this bill. If you're a senior on Medicare, it costs you an additional $6,000 for your medicine. I oppose this bill.
