              PRESIDENT'S BUDGET: TAXES TOO MANY TOO MUCH

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

[[Page H3449]]

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, Democrats have broken 
their promise not to raise taxes on 95 percent of Americans. Democrats 
are proposing to tax small businesses and everyone who plans to turn on 
a light, drive a car, or heat their home.
  Under the Democrat budget, many small businesses will see their taxes 
go up. At a time when our economy is in trouble, this budget raises 
taxes on the one group that creates the most jobs in America.
  But small businesses are not alone. Under the new Democrat cap, 
trade, and tax proposal, every household in this country would pay as 
much as $3,128 each year in higher energy costs. This would surely 
overwhelm any tax break they may be getting.
  The President says this budget is not just about numbers on a page. I 
agree. There are real families and small businesses that will be hurt 
by the $1.4 trillion in new taxes this budget will create.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th.
