                        A CONTRABAND FLOW CHART

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, this organizational chart is a chart that 
represents the new way that health care would be handled in the United 
States under the Democrats' plan. This is a chart that we will not be 
allowed, though, to send out to our constituents because it has been 
ruled inappropriate to send out. But we want the American people to see 
it.
  The other thing that people need to know about the Democrat health 
bill is that it's going to give higher taxes to small businesses and 
it's going to destroy jobs. According to the Democrats' plan, filers 
making $280,000 will be hit with a 1 percent surtax. Filers making 
$400,000 will be hit by a 1.5 percent surtax, and filers making 
$800,000 will be hit by a 5.4 percent surtax.
  Because most small businesses pay their taxes as part of their 
owner's individual tax filing, a majority of those hit by this new tax 
will be small businesses. According to the National Association of 
Manufacturers, an industry hard hit by the economy, 68 percent of 
manufacturers file as S corporations with an average income of 
$570,000. We also know this bill will destroy 4.7 million jobs. That's 
too many jobs to destroy in this country. We don't need this health 
care bill.
