I submit for the Record a list of all of the American businesses that oppose this bill because it will cost us American jobs. Job Creators Oppose Democrats' Deficit Extender Bill Cite Concerns that Provisions Will Hinder Job Creation, Decrease Competitiveness of American Businesses Since Democrats introduced their latest version of H.R. 4213, "The American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act," business leaders and organizations that represent millions of American businesses and their employees have voiced their opposition to the job-killing, deficit extending bill. These employers say that the legislation is anti-job growth, will place American businesses at a worldwide competitive disadvantage, subject them to higher taxes and will harm the nation's path to economic recovery. Given the disconnect between House Democrats' rhetoric on jobs and their votes for tax increases, it is no wonder employers are confused, new investments aren't being made and unemployment continues to hover at close to 10 percent.
