These small businesses are the engine of American job creation. They create roughly three out of five American jobs that have been created over recent years. And one critical means of supporting American small businesses and working Americans is through business tax incentives like section 179. This is a proven success. It has proven itself over the last several years. And it is evident that these small businesses are one bright spot of job creation, personal opportunity, and upward mobility during these troubled times. I support this commonsensical bill that is going to help small businesses grow and restore a measure of hope and opportunity to rank- and-file Americans during these troubled times. I would like to thank Chairman Tiberi for his important work in offering this legislation. I would ask my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to reconsider their partisan reservations to supporting this measure. {time} 1045
