Mr. Speaker, one thing that I find the government is supposed to do, as far as when I got into this goes, is help people out. Usually, helping out businesses to be profitable and give good jobs means making a good environment in our country for them to make profit.
We are falling behind when we compare ourselves to the U.S. There are different tax credits. We had the 100% expensing of certain items for businesses, but that has been reversed. We are falling behind, so we have to look at how we are going to make ourselves more competitive in this world against our fellows to the south. That is a very important part of this that we have to deal with when we are looking at how the tax code affects all businesses.
