TAX CUTS FOR MILLIONAIRES
(Ms. SHEA-PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Madam Speaker, Republicans are holding tax cuts for
the middle class hostage as they try to extend tax cuts for
millionaires. They say letting tax cuts for the very wealthy expire
will hurt small businesses. It is just not true. Ninety-seven percent
of small businesses would see no tax increase under the Democratic
plan. If the Republicans think they are talking about small businesses,
they are truly out of touch.
While they stand in the way of unemployment benefits for millions of
Americans still reeling from the crisis Wall Street and the previous
administration created, they are doing everything they can to give huge
checks to millionaires. This is just one more example of who the
Republicans are really watching out for.
