this amendment, like the last one, ought to be verified and categorized as violating the truth-in-advertising law. This amendment has nothing to do with education. It does not mention education other than in the title. All it does is eliminate the top rate reduction which hurts small businesses. It cuts the dividend provision. This is an amendment that will actually increase taxes. It has nothing to do with education, and it should be defeated.
