“since 2003, the Bush tax cuts have helped all Americans by creating over 5.2 million jobs, reducing the unemployment rate to the lowest average in three decades, and growing the economy at a record pace. Thanks to the Home Builders Association, there is record homeownership. Although Democrats have seen American families benefit from lower taxes, they continue to obstruct opportunities. Yesterday, House Democrats stuck to their tax-and-spend strategy. When the House considered the tax reductions yesterday, 185 Democrats voted against this critical legislation. By voting against this bill, they clearly signaled their support for raising taxes on American families, American small businesses, and American investors. Fortunately, House Republicans voted for this legislation so that Americans, not the Federal Government, have control over their hard- earned incomes. By passing this bill, we have helped create and ensure that our economy continues to grow, creating opportunities. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September 11. ____________________”
