                 STOP RAISING TAXES ON SMALL BUSINESSES

  (Mr. SCALISE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SCALISE. This past Friday the 13th, President Obama was out on 
the campaign trail, as he seems to be all the time, and he actually had 
the nerve to say:
  If you've got a business, you didn't build it. Somebody else made it 
happen.
  That statement shows not only the contempt, but the arrogance, that 
this President has towards our small business owners and the people 
that are working hard out there in a tough economy and, in many cases, 
working hard in spite of the many rules and regulations coming out of 
this Obama administration that's making it even harder for them to 
create jobs and is one of the biggest reasons that we've seen so many 
jobs outsourced by this President, who could be called the Outsourcer 
in Chief for all of the millions of jobs that have left this country to 
go to other countries in the last 3\1/2\ years.
  There was a report that just came out yesterday by the National 
Federation of Independent Businesses that showed the President's newest 
tax proposal to raise taxes on small business owners will cost 700,000 
jobs. That's Friday the 13th for every small business owner out there 
trying to get the economy back on and trying to keep their businesses 
afloat. That's over 10,000 jobs lost just in Louisiana. This needs to 
stop. We need to stop raising taxes on business owners.
