TAX CUTS RESOLUTION
(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, a tax cuts resolution has
finally been made to protect all Americans from the largest tax
increase in American history. I am happy the President recognizes tax
increases kill jobs, as documented by the National Federation of
Independent Business, NFIB. This resolution protects South Carolina
from losing 9,000 jobs a year and $3,000 per family of disposable
income, as highlighted by the Heritage Foundation.
I have two corrections. First, the death tax must be permanently
repealed, as this double taxation destroys family-owned businesses.
Secondly, I am concerned about extending unemployment benefits without
paying for them. I understand that hardworking Americans find
themselves needing assistance. A commonsense solution is to pay for an
extension of unemployment benefits with unused stimulus funds.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
Congratulations Lexington County Council for recruiting 1,200 new
jobs with Amazon.com to the City of Cayce.
