there's there's a lot that's really wild about hodges story to me. just the the decision to leave your family in virginia and try to make a new life for yourself in new york. and then the decision say you know, what? manhattan or brooklyn is not where i want to be. i'm gonna go to the adirondacks and it's it's it's a it's fascinating to think about the choice and the decision that went into that and it's tough because you know, we can't have that much of the thought process that went went into that just in terms of seeing the records, but we do have from hodges more than we would from from a lot of other black folks from the period but i you know, i think that i found myself drawn to these stories and and not only stories like hodges that are i think very unfamiliar people but stories like or people like samuel cornish who is not unfamiliar to specialists in the field, but not nearly as well known as frederick douglass, but was really critically important as you know in some ways like the like the godfather or the black press he was involved in an ac

hodge. you are now recognized for five minutes. >> chair warren ranking member cassidy appreciate the opportunity to speak today. my testimony will focus on perceptions in the tax code and proposals. specifically it tacks on income or the wealth tax but my main message -- including a situation some perceived unfair because of explicit allowances in the tax code. we should tax in ways to make it simpler than other provisions that will make it more complicated more costly to administer and have negative consequences. these are two examples of such inadvisable taxes. unfairness in corporate tax -- reporting different incomes to shareholders and to the irs. they have ignored the corporate systems inc. subject to. congress has made the law such of the two numbers are different. based on public irs data on 2017 in 2017 taxable income as a result of depreciation and the general this is tax credit which includes the r&d tax credit account for 130 billion in tax revenue. corporate tax receipts are 13
