mr. rangel: would the gentleman yield? mr. garamendi: i'd loo love to yield to you any time. mr. rangel: just on the tax policy, to believe that the top 1% of the wage earners or the income people in this country own 40% of the nation's wealth, that the president of the united states has to go to the united states chamber of commerce and to remind them of the hundreds of billions of dollars that taxpayers have given to them so they would be able to survive and that they won't take a gamble with their country in terms of helping us in partnerships to create the jobs that we need so badly. if we cleaned up the tax code, we can find so much that we can reduce the rates and make certain incentives to encourage people to invest in the good u.s.a. so let me thank you so much for the contribution you're making to me -- you're making to. me, anyone watching -- making. to me, anyone watching should find out what's good for our country. mr. garamendi: this is a great country. and we're going to have a great future. we're in tough times right now and we've been in tough times in the past. bu
