HR 3200 you can quick jump to the pages in this pdf pretty easily.
Page 203: "The tax imposed under this section shall not be treated as tax." (Yes, it really says that.)
This Bill really sucks
Your "Pilgram's bill" does really suck, but it has nothing to do with the actual house bill.
Every one of those claims is not in the bill and you can tell what few words come from bill, they are in quotes, and what words were added by GOP think tanks and then circulated by the GOP Hate-run media.
Even in the rare case where they do actually use only the words found in the bill, like pg 203 above, they again misrepresent what it says. If you are observant, you see a period after the word "tax" and within the quotation marks.
A standard technique used by professional liars is to tell enough truth and then SHUT UP. In the bill the sentence didn't end at the word "tax," so an honest quotation should have ended with "tax ..." Now what was left out was that the tax was not a tax FOR THE PURPOSE OF A TAX CREDIT.
We have a teachable moment here.
Once you learn the tricks the CON$ use to deliberately deceive, you will see that they use the same dishonest tricks over and over no matter what the topic.
pg 203
‘‘(4) NOT TREATED AS TAX IMPOSED BY THIS CHAPTER FOR CERTAIN PURPOSES.—The tax im-14
posed under this section shall not be treated as tax 15
imposed by this chapter for purposes of determining 16
the amount of any credit under this chapter or for 17
purposes of section 55.’’. 18
The best liar is he who makes the smallest amount of lying go the longest way.
