                   THE EMPLOYER MANDATE, A JOB KILLER

  (Mr. THOMAS of Wyoming asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. THOMAS of Wyoming. Mr. Speaker, it is about jobs. The employer 
mandate is a job-killing tax on U.S. business. The Democrats in 
Washington want this job-killing tax on U.S. business to pay for new 
and expanded health care entitlements. There are lots of technical 
terms and political theater being used around Washington to hide the 
job-killing tax on U.S. business, but let me share with Members a 
simple truth, a glossary of terms, I think, that we need to understand.
  Employer mandate, that means a job-killing tax on U.S. business. Hard 
trigger, that means a job-killing tax on U.S. business. Soft trigger, 
that means a job-killing tax on U.S. business. Soft trigger with fast 
track, a job-killing tax on U.S. business.
  Let us not be fooled by the technical babble that is going on. An 
employer mandate by any name is still a job-killing tax on U.S. 
business. Let us stop the mandate.
