Mr. Speaker, in 108 days, liberals will impose the largest tax increase in U.S. history. This $3.9 trillion increase will impact every taxpayer, hurting small businesses and hardworking families by killing jobs, and a death tax devastating to family businesses such as auto dealers and farmers. I am offering an amendment to tomorrow's legislation that will prevent this job-killing tax increase by making the tax cuts permanent. I urge support for the amendment for an immediate up-or-down vote on tax cuts that are crucial to promoting jobs. Freezing tax rates for 2 years is the first part of the two-part plan that Republicans have to create jobs in America. The second step is cutting spending by 20 percent to stop Washington's reckless spending. The time is now to act, and I urge the Rules Committee to allow an up- or-down vote on the amendment to offer tax relief to all hardworking Americans. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
