A $4,460 tax increase is not germane to this debate we're having right now. What is? The $25 billion doesn't fall out of the sky, out of the air. It has to come from somewhere. It is a tax increase on the middle class. You know it. We all…
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this rule, because hidden deep in this bill is language that indeed will increase income taxes on middle class American families by thousands of dollars a year. My Republican colleagues claim the…
Democrats want to enact the repeal of the 1099 reporting requirements. We passed a bill in July of 2010 that didn't raise taxes on anyone. Instead, it closed loopholes that allowed for the exporting of U.S. jobs overseas. Guess what…
What part of what I said about the family of four earning $88,000 and getting a bonus of $250, and their exposure then to $4,460 in taxes was untrue? ... They know it's a tax increase on the middle class, Mr. Polis.
The example that I gave of a family of four making $88,000 would have a huge tax increase because of this bill of $4,460.
I wonder when the gentlemen were out campaigning last year and talking to small businesses, did you talk to the middle class about the increase in the tax that you would propose when you came to the floor of the House? One of the first…
Let me be the first to say that anything can be improved. If you have ideas about how to improve this law by making care better or more affordable, I am eager to work with you.
If the Affordable Care Act were repealed, Medicaid beneficiaries would effectively see an $8.8 billion cut just from this particular provision being repealed; is that true?
Now I would hope that my Republican colleagues aren't defending double dipping, but that is what it sounded like to me.
My Republican colleagues have said that they want to completely take away all funding for the Affordable Care Act.
I thank my friend from Michigan for yielding the time. Madam Speaker, today we consider the first major piece of legislation of the 112th Congress--the first. Does this legislation create one job? Not one single job will be created by this…
Gabby, you're not a freshman Member of the House. Yeah, you're going to do that. Don't worry about that. But she was always trying to convince. She's a star. We know it. Every Member here knows it, Democrat and Republican. This woman has…
I want to recognize and give thanks to the leadership of the House--in particular Nancy Pelosi, and more so this morning to Speaker John Boehner--for this beautiful resolution that we have before us today. I said on Sunday that his remarks…
On September 11, my cousin, John Moran, was at Tower Two of the World Trade Center. He said, ``Let me off here. I want to try and make a difference.'' We have made a difference today in the lives of the people we're saving. Today, I rise…
Republicans are united in blocking all America's business until they get their tax cut for the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans. That's trouble for America. The Republican plan will not keep our troops at war safe. The Republican plan…
Today, the House will vote to provide permanent tax cuts to middle class American families. That means no more marriage penalty, lower taxes on family incomes, tax cuts to make college more affordable, and expand small businesses, creating…
Under the Republican plan, America will go to the dogs. This dog received $12 million. How many Americans who work in New York or Michigan or California or Florida or Georgia earn $12 million in a lifetime? They'll protect this little dog…
I thank my colleague and friend from New York (Mr. Rangel) for yielding me this time. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this bill. I would like to thank those who are here today for the debate who served our Nation so nobly on 9/11…
Mr. Speaker, I rise this evening to tell the human side of this story, to tell the story of Lieutenant Martin Fullam from my district. Five weeks or so ago I got on a train in New Jersey to come down to work and Martin was there with his…
And if you say that you support this bill but because of process, because of procedure, you will not vote with us tonight, then I say to you, speak to your confessor, because your judgment day is coming. These people fought for us. They…
In closing, I want to thank the gentleman for his comments and remarks and also recognize we may very well have to come back to do additional work to help this industry because this is a national crisis. It's not just in New York. It's not…
This evening I rise not only as a Member of Congress, not only as a native New Yorker, and not only as the son of a New York City police officer. Today, I also rise as the cousin of Battalion Chief John Moran and in strong support of the…
This week when the House considers the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, my colleagues will have a simple choice: to vote to protect foreign corporations who are avoiding paying U.S. taxes or vote to protect those who stood in protection…
My Republican colleagues are singing the same old tune again. This past Sunday on ``Meet the Press,'' the Republicans top campaign leader let the truth be known. If the Republicans take power in Congress, he said, ``We need to go back to…
