                              JOB CREATION

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PHIL GINGREY

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 10, 2012

  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today to urge 
Senate Democrats to halt President Obama's job-killing tax hike. 
According to one study, this massive tax increase would eliminate 
700,000 jobs, raise taxes on the middle class, and deal a massive blow 
to our nation's economic engine, small businesses.
  The President and his czars continue to burden our nation's job 
creators with onerous, anti-growth regulations. Along with his tax 
hikes and burdensome regulations, President Obama's health care law 
threatens patient access, raises taxes, and takes over one-sixth of the 
U.S. economy.
  In the meantime, House Republicans have maintained a laser-like focus 
on jobs, passing more than 30 pro-growth jobs bills, which continue to 
stack up on Senator Reid's desk.
  Mr. Speaker, President Obama's economic policies have failed. This 
massive tax hike on the middle class is unsustainable and a hindrance 
to growth and job creation. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to take 
up our jobs bills and stop the tax hike.
