Earl Pomeroy: “We got help for them next year up to $4 million. We took the lead just 3 years ago, as was mentioned by the gentlewoman…”

On the recordJuly 18, 2000
We got help for them next year up to $4 million. We took the lead just 3 years ago, as was mentioned by the gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Thurman), to move it up to $2.6 million on a unified credit. We now propose taking it to $4 million, and next year a lot more relief than we see under the majority bill. Mr. Speaker, we see the majority bill really is not about helping farmers or small businesses. It is geared to the wealthiest families in this country, and that is why the long, slow phase-in so that they can get the super-rich involved in the package.

I believe that when it is a securitized issue spread around with no remote concept of insurable interest, you raise profound questions about whether or not this tax incentive ought to apply anymore.
