JOB CREATION STARTS WITH LOW TAXES, NOT CLASS WARFARE
(Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1

Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, President Obama and his liberal allies in
the Senate are at it again. After proposing a new $447 billion stimulus
bill last month, the President has seen the bill

languish in the Democrat-controlled Senate. Why? Because there are
some, even in his own party, who know that more government spending and
job-killing tax hikes are not going to get our economy moving again.
But the Senate majority leader has come to the rescue with another
new class warfare proposal. That's right; he wants a permanent tax
increase on small businesses and job creators to pay for a temporary
stimulus program. Oh, goody. Long-term, job-destroying tax increases to
finance another short-term government spending program.
How about we focus on creating an environment that encourages job
creation by eliminating harmful government regulations that stifle
hiring and by fixing our broken Tax Code without raising taxes?
