We know that it's our small businesses that have hired almost 60 percent of the new jobs that we've had in this country. We know that $1,500 would go back into the economy, and we know that that $1,500, through this middle class tax cut, would help businesses in this country. I know we've been called the do-nothing Congress; but in this instance, if we do nothing, Americans who can least afford it will see a tax increase come right after the holidays. I dare say, Americans who will see that kind of a tax increase in January might worry about how they're spending their money this December, and it may just affect their generosity, not only to their own families, but to those who are in need in this country.
