If you knew or you suddenly went to the mailbox and opened the box up and there was a bill for $2,100 and it was due immediately, that is what is coming if these tax cuts are not extended and made permanent. Despite the fact of the economic improvement in this Nation, the Democratic Congress is committed to raise taxes. The last time they raised taxes was 25 days ago in the energy industry that has an effect on virtually every job in America, and now we are looking at a wide variety of taxes. Facts are stubborn things. The success of Republican tax relief initiatives are undeniable. That is the reason that Congressman Shuster and I and the Countdown Crew like to say we want to create taxpayers, not raise taxes. We want to create taxpayers, not create new taxes because the job creators who are out there are real people, like Jack Kingston who was in the insurance industry; Thelma Drake from Virginia now who was a Realtor; Bill Shuster who worked in the automotive support industry.
