In fact, if that was such a great idea, don't you think they would have had a hearing on this bill? Don't you think they would get their Members involved? Where are the dozens of Republicans coming to the floor to celebrate the rule for this flawed piece of legislation? It is complex, and it is unfair. It is raising taxes on millions, destabilizing our economic future, and making it harder for us to compete in the future. Mr. Speaker, reject the rule, and reject the bill.
