                    LISTEN TO AMERICA'S JOB CREATORS

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, if the Obama administration is serious about 
helping create jobs for the American people, then it should start by 
listening to America's job creators. House Republicans understand the 
importance of freeing our Nation's businessmen and entrepreneurs from 
the confidence-killing threat of higher taxes and more regulations so 
that they can invest, grow, and hire again.
  This means protecting job creators from needless tax burdens. This 
means reforming Federal spending. This means supporting a fairer, 
flatter and simpler Tax Code. This means stopping job-killing 
regulations that constrain employers from hiring more workers.
  On each of these issues, House Republicans have already acted. 
Following our Plan for America's Job Creators, we've passed more than 
20 job-creation bills so far this year.
  The path to new jobs has been paved by House Republicans. It's long 
past time for Senate Democrats and President Obama to follow our lead 
and enact these jobs bills.
