                  EXTEND TAX CUTS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, over the past month, I 
have visited dozens of small businesses across South Carolina, and I 
have met with concerned citizens, all of whom expressed the need for 
more tax relief, not tax increases.
  For 16 straight months, America's unemployment rate has been above 9 
percent with nearly 20 million people without jobs. This is clearly a 
time of urgency, and the last thing hardworking families and small 
business owners need are more crippling tax hikes. The nonpartisan 
Joint Committee on Taxation confirms that the upcoming tax hike will 
raise taxes on 50 percent of small business income in America.
  The math is simple: More taxes equal fewer jobs. Congress must act to 
prevent the job-killing taxes that are headed for American families and 
provide policies that give American families incentives to invest and 
create jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forgot 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
