00:00Mr. Smith.

00:01The gentleman from Nebraska is recognized for one minute.

00:04I thank the chairman for the diligent work he has done in bringing folks together, hearing

00:08from all members and helping formulate a bill that is great for America, great for workers,

00:16where we know that what we did in 2017 increased wages for workers at an amount even better

00:25proportionately than high-income folks.

00:30I also want to point out that my colleagues across the aisle voted for a large portion

00:34of this bill last year.

00:39Now there's various criticisms that they've kind of pivoted, I guess, a bit, but when you

00:45really look at what we are doing, we're preventing a tax increase on the middle class, average

00:51American household without this bill getting done will face about a $1,500 tax increase.

00:58American Farm Bureau tells us that the average farm will face more than $5,000 tax increase

01:03if we don't get our bill done.

01:05Mr. Speaker, this is the right thing to do.

01:08This is great for America.

01:09I yield back.

01:10Gentleman yields.

01:11Gentleman from Massachusetts.
