                        EXTEND TAX CUTS FOR JOBS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday I highlighted 
the significant tax increases that are heading toward hardworking 
Americans at the beginning of next year. Families, married couples, and 
parents are going to be paying more taxes. Washington liberals are 
planning to reinstate the marriage penalties and cut the child tax 
credit in half.
  Cutting the child tax credit in half from $1,000 to $500 per child 
will cost the average American family around $1,033 in higher taxes in 
2011.
  Reinstating the marriage penalty will cost an average of $595 for 
each family in 2011. In these tough economic times, raising taxes will 
eliminate jobs. It is time for Washington liberals to stop passing 
policies that penalize families and start passing incentives that 
promote job creation.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
