“I thank the chairman for yielding, and I thank him for his hard work, as well as the folks on the other side of the aisle who have come together to support this legislation, as I do, today. Mr. Speaker, hardworking taxpayers across America deserve a fairer, simpler Tax Code, and one that allows them to keep more of their hard- earned dollars. That is exactly why I support this legislation, as it is a step in the right direction along that path. The other important aspect of this legislation is it brings certainty to our manufacturers and the energy sector in regard to these provisions that are temporarily extended each and every year, as my colleagues have recognized over and over again, and now, to a large extent, we make permanent. That allows them to plan for tomorrow. That allows them to make the investments with their hard-earned dollars in the places they choose to put that money. And they can rely on a Tax Code now that is certain, simpler, and fairer on their behalf. We also take care of hardworking families in this bill. We also take care of people in our bill, the Mortgage Forgiveness Act and the America Gives More Act, where we talk about charitable donation of food inventories. That is the right policy for the American people. That is the right policy for hardworking taxpayers across America.…”
