The fact is we can create jobs in this economy if we free those who create jobs to have more. What we do when we try to take the Government and say, ``You will do this or you will do that, Mr. Employer,'' is we shackle the very job opportunities that my friend from Texas purports to give honest working men and women. It comes down to this basic premise, and it is one of fairness: Do we empower all in this country to achieve all they can achieve; or would we have Government, through capricious action, tell those who create jobs, ``No, you are not entitled to create any more jobs; no, we are going to say to you we are going to penalize you for trying to create job opportunities, and instead it will be the Government who decides who giveth and, of course, the Government who, obviously, taketh away,'' with historic tax increases from this liberal side of the aisle and their liberal friends at the end of Pennsylvania Avenue.
