It is noteworthy that throughout this debate not one company anywhere in America has come forward and said ``if you pass this bill, you raise my taxes,'' because the vast majority of foreign companies and no American companies are impacted whatsoever. Today, we must choose who to stand with. We choose to stand with the farm and ranch families that need this assistance and the small American businesses that are paying their fair share of taxes. We reject the notion that the only way you can lure a foreign company to come to America is to tell the foreign company that they should pay less taxes than Americans. It is a clear choice.
