                  ENCOURAGE INVESTMENT AND CREATE JOBS

  (Mr. REICHERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. REICHERT. Mr. Speaker, the American people are sick and tired of 
broken government. They are sick and tired of business as usual, which 
means no business at all. No business at all means no jobs.
  And why are there no jobs? Business is being taxed to the max. 
Government borrows like there is no tomorrow. Government spends to the 
end, the end of American ingenuity, the end of American business.
  Here is what we need to do. Don't raise the capital gains tax. Don't 
increase taxes on families and small businesses. Hey, I know, let's 
repeal the estate tax. What about make the R&D tax a permanent tax 
credit? Allow small businesses to deduct the cost of expensive 
machinery.
  I mean, there are ideas after ideas after ideas about what we can do 
to make this country grow. How about this, Mr. Speaker? Have a little 
faith in the American people.
