                   NEW TAXES WILL NOT CREATE NEW JOBS

  (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. Mr. Speaker, raising taxes on 
hardworking American families in this economy will not create new jobs. 
The President already explained that raising taxes in a down economy 
does not make sense.
  Washington's financial problems are not caused by a shortage of 
revenue. Washington's financial problems are a direct result of 
skyrocketing wasteful spending such as $16 muffins for the DOJ. 
Promises like the failed stimulus bill have been revealed as empty 
slogans, failing the promise of holding unemployment below 8 percent. 
Twenty-five million Americans are still seeking full-time jobs.
  The best way to promote jobs is to offer solutions focused on getting 
Americans back to work. Providing certainty with regard to tax reform 
while easing the burden of unnecessary regulations will enable job 
creators to hire once again.
  House Republicans have sought to achieve this goal by passing 
legislation aimed at cutting redtape involved with running small 
businesses. Reforms are being blocked by liberals with the threat of a 
Presidential veto.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
