We need to be making
sure that middle class families are getting a break, that they can
actually think about a future for their kids, for the next generation,
that is better than the one they have. We have very little time, but, Mr. Speaker, I am very sure that we in
the Progressive Caucus and we in the Democratic Caucus are going to do
everything we can to fight for working people, for the most vulnerable
among us, and to protect things like CHIP, the Children's Health
Insurance Program, to protect temporary protected status for immigrants
across the country, and to make sure we are passing a clean Dream Act. These are the kinds of priorities we should be focusing on, not lining
the pockets of the wealthiest corporations and transferring jobs from
the United States to tax havens elsewhere. We have a lot of work to do to make sure that, in this very short
period of time, people speak up and speak out and make sure that we do
not pass this bill, make sure that we, instead, work together in a
bipartisan way for tax reform that actually benefits working families.
