“It has been endorsed by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. It has been endorsed by the National League of Cities, endorsed by the National Association of Counties. It is not fair, Madam Speaker, that my colleagues on the other side are boasting that people are leaving places like my State and moving to their States. What happens?

My State and so many other States that are hurt by this existing GOP tax cut are subsidizing the other States in this Nation. My State sends $48 billion a year more to the Federal Government than we get back. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to please support this.”
