biggest corporations and wealthiest pay their fair share and that is an estimate of about $160 billion a year of taxes that are unlawfully not paid. right now right now families are being harmed by corporate prove tearing. i don't want you to take it from me but take it from a large number, 126 america con midsts and seven nobody ell prize winners and in a letter, i want you to hear this my republican friends because clearly you don't know this, but now that you do, perhaps you will change your comments. these investments will fight inflation and lower costs for

american families while setting the stage for long-term are economic growth. and i submit, their letter to the record. another point i want to make as i hear them saying that this is going to be such a thing about the audits -- despite the republicans' desperate falsehoods and does not increase audits on america's working families. a republican appointed by donald trump said these resources are absolutely not about increasing audit scrutiny on small businesses or middle-income americans. there you have it. i ask these questions, when you hear about what this means to america's working families, how can you vote against lowering prescription drug costs for

seniors and underserved communities as we continue to fight inflation, how can you vote with pharma and vote against future generations? how can you vote against reducing the deficient sits to pay their fair share and i'm not talking about people who work the system. i'm talking about people who illegally do not pay their taxes. every member is confronted with a choice, put people over politics or politics over people and for century, members of congress have stood where we stand facing the exact same decision as they constructed the pillars of america's safety and security. social security, medicare,

medicaid, things that republicans opposed all along the way. this bill, the inflation reduction act, a package for the people, increases the leveraging over the special interests and expands health and financial security now and for generations to come. submitting this for the record, i urge every member to put aside their misunderstanding of this and vote for the inflation reduction act as we send this historic legislation to president biden's desk for signature this evening for him to sign into law. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: all time for debate has expired. pursuant to house resolution 1316, the previous question is ordered.
