                               TAX HIKES

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, when the clock strikes 
midnight on December 21, 2010, a $3.8 trillion Democrat tax increase 
will ring in the new year.
  The Democrats' ticking tax bomb means all tax-paying Americans will 
face higher taxes starting on January 1. For married couples, get ready 
to give up date nights in order to pay the tax penalty for I saying ``I 
do.'' For families with children, get ready to give up the family 
summer vacation so that you can fork over to Uncle Sam an extra $500 
per kid.
  For already struggling small business owners, get ready to share more 
of your hard-earned profits with Uncle Sam, hard-earned profits that 
could be used to hire new workers. The American people want, need, and 
deserve better than the Democrats' massive tax hikes to pay for their 
Big Government agenda.
  Let's stop the big tax increase and protect America's future.
