          EXTEND ALL THE CURRENT TAX RATES FOR EVERY AMERICAN

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, today is December 16, 2010. There are only 15 
days left until the American people are burdened with one of the 
largest tax increases in almost three decades. We must act now to 
extend all of the current tax rates for every American. We must allow 
Americans to keep more of their hard-earned money.
  Stopping the tax increases leaves more dollars and cents in the 
pockets of those who need them. It will also encourage small businesses 
and the private sector to invest and hire. We need to spur economic 
growth to pull us out of one of the worst economies in our recent 
history.
  The President and his party currently control both Chambers of 
Congress and will maintain a majority in the Senate and will hold the 
White House come January. Let's not just

tell our fellow Americans that we listened and have heard their 
concerns about the economy and their money. Let's show them by 
extending all the current tax rates for every American and do that 
without other items that add to the deficit.
