Task: Question Generation
Input (English): Context_1 : The Taxpayer Choice Act ( / ) was a proposed bill in the United States Congress which, if enacted, would have amended the Internal Revenue Code to eliminate the alternative minimum tax on individual taxpayers.

The bill would also make permanent the capital gains and dividends rate reductions enacted by the "Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act". In the House, the bill was introduced by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), ranking member on the House Budget Committee, and had 83 cosponsors in 2007 and 22 fellow Republicans in 2009. The bill was introduced in the Senate by Jim Demint.
