| 00:00:00 | THAT IF WE RAISE TAXES ON THE OIL COMPANIES, SURELY THAT WILL BE PASSED ALONG TO CONSUMERS -- WHEN I'M FINISHED. |
| 00:00:14 | I BELIEVE THE GENTLEMAN FROM COLORADO PROBABLY HAS ADEQUATE TIME. |
| 00:00:21 | AS MY COLLEAGUE KNOWS, YESTERDAY IN THE RULES COMMITTEE PEOPLE ON HIS SIDE OF THE AISLE TALKED ABOUT TAX BREAKS AND GIVEAWAYS AND THAT AGAIN IMPLIES THAT ALL THE MONEY THAT HARDWORKING TAXPAYERS EARN IS GOVERNMENT MONEY AND THAT IS NOT THE WAY IT IS. |
| 00:00:47 | THE ATTITUDE ABOUT GIVING AWAY MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IMPLIES THAT THE MONEY BELONGS TO THE GOVERNMENT. |
| 00:00:54 | I'D ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT TO MY COLLEAGUE THAT THE SUBSIDIES HE TALKS ABOUT ARE NOT SUBSIDIES. |
| 00:01:03 | THEY ARE THE TAX DEDUCTIONS, TAX , QUOTE, BREAKS THAT EVERY MANUFACTURER GETS, NOT JUST THE OIL COMPANIES. |
| 00:01:13 | AND TO TALK ABOUT CORPORATE WELFARE IS A BIT DISINGENUOUS AND WITH THAT, MR. |
| 00:01:20 | SPEAKER, I WILL RESERVE THE BALANCE OF MY TIME. |
| 00:01:25 | THE SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE: THE GENTLEWOMAN RESERVES THE BALANCE OF HER TIME. |
| 00:01:29 | THE GENTLEMAN FROM COLORADO IS RECOGNIZED. |
| 00:01:30 | MR. |
| 00:01:31 | POLIS: BEFORE FURTHER YIELDING, I |
Ms. FOXX. As my colleague knows, yesterday, in the Rules Committee, people on his side of the aisle talked about tax breaks and giveaways, and that, again, implies that all the money that hardworking taxpayers earn is government money, and that is not the way it is. That attitude about giving away money from the Federal Government implies that the money belongs to the government.
I would also like to point out to my colleague that the subsidies he talks about are not subsidies. They are the tax deductions, tax ``breaks'' that every manufacturer gets, not just the oil companies. To talk about corporate welfare is a bit disingenuous.
With that, Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
