Speaker. the other night I came on this floor and indicated that I had come over because I thought there was to be a vote taken virtually immediately. because I expected the instruction on this would be accepted by the Republican side. Now. for those who are not familiar with all of the ins and outs of what goes on on this floor or for those who are here today witnessing democracy in action and are sitting in the gallery for the Close Up Foundation. young people that come here. for the men and women who work hard and pay taxes and believe in their citizenship and raised their kids to believe in America. that someone like myself to come from Buffalo. NY. 36 years ago. can go to Hawaii and represent Hawaii today in a multicultural. multiethnic. multiracial society. a rainbow of people. a plurality of people that make up the United States of America. the most unique and special country in the history of the world because we take immigrants in from all over the world and say. you can be Americans and you can achieve your dreams. I am standing here today because of that. My ancestors emigrated to the United States. proud to be Americans. And we have people today who say. I do not want to pay taxes. much of it on inherited wealth. people who have not earned anything but just took money out of the economy. they do not want to pay taxes and they renounce their citizenship.
