What has changed in America since that increase, or the 2001-2003 tax decrease, was passed by the democratically-controlled Congress in 2010? What has changed? You heard from my good friend Mr. Gowdy that nothing has changed. Now we are going to look at those job creators--and let's slap them again. Let's take away the certainty for the people.

The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has again expired.
