On the recordFebruary 12, 2007
I appreciate that, Congressman Kingston. It just highlights all the more what you point out, that in 1,419 days, that every working family in America is going to have a $2,000 tax increase. We think about where that money could go and what it is doing in the economy. Just for those who might be joining us tonight, we are the Countdown Crew. We meet the first night of every vote and talk about issues that make a difference to creating jobs, that make a difference to our pocketbook, for working families, for small business owners that create the preponderance of our jobs. We would like for you to join with us, to communicate your stories, to share your experiences. You can contact us at [email protected]. We are standing by to hear those stories right now. And I just want to thank again Bill Shuster's vision to want to execute this program. As we get ever nearer to those tax increases, we have had Members that are coming to the floor that haven't been politicians their whole life, that have had what I would like to say are real jobs, who have been out there, who know what it is like to have to make a profit. I know what it is like to make that decision to go without a paycheck to make sure that employee health benefits are paid.
