I am delighted to have our colleagues on the Democratic side come and talk about jobs. It's not going to happen. These are massive tax increases. Business is trying to say, through the letters which I will more fully get into in a minute, that's how to kill jobs in this country, permanent tax increases. Oh, no, those are corporations, those are evil corporations. My friends, they are called employers. You are putting permanent tax increases on employers, which means you will have fewer jobs in this country. Don't blame it on somebody else; blame it on yourself. Pin the tail on the donkey. That's the reason why we don't have jobs. We don't have jobs because 4 years ago, when the Democratic majority took over, all they talked about is taxes and spending, rules, regulation, more on business. And Members come to the floor and say, this is just about jobs. Read the bill.
