        CUT TAXES ON CAPITAL INVESTMENT TO KEEP JOBS IN AMERICA

  (Mr. TIAHRT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, the Democrats say we need to keep jobs in 
America for American workers, Republicans say that we need to keep jobs 
in America for American workers. The difference is that liberal 
Democrat policies do everything possible to drive companies overseas or 
encourage investment capital to go abroad.
  Think about it. Democrats rail against ``corporate America.'' They 
support increasing expansion of regulation and they seek to raise taxes 
on the people who create and keep jobs. Naturally, businesses respond 
by moving from a high tax country to a low tax country.
  Mr. Speaker, if we want to keep jobs in America, make America the 
best place in the whole world to open a business, the best place in the 
whole world to invest, the best place in the whole world to start a 
business, the best place in the whole world to make a profit, the best 
place in the whole world to keep profits, the best place in the whole 
world to build a company and make it grow. We must keep jobs in 
America.

  Mr. Speaker, let us cut taxes on capital investment and make the 
decision to stay in America the easiest decision in the world.
