                        TAX INCREASES KILL JOBS

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, sadly, unemployment in 
South Carolina has increased to 11 percent. Citizens rightfully want to 
know where are the jobs? Republicans have made positive proposals to 
help small businesses create jobs, but they are falling on deaf ears. 
Americans across the country are hurting and cannot wait another day, 
let alone another few months, to know whether or not Congress is going 
to offer job creation incentives and tax relief.
  During these tough economic times, the last thing families need are 
more tax increases. The Heritage Foundation has some staggering numbers 
about how the incoming tax increases would kill jobs in South Carolina. 
The Heritage Foundation has found that the State of South Carolina 
would lose

over 9,000 jobs a year, and South Carolina's families would loss $3,000 
each in disposable income.
  If these statistics become a reality on our families, the impact 
would be catastrophic. We need immediate tax relief, not job-killing 
tax increases.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
